GdS: Amorim hoping for three recoveries during the break to lighten injury crisis

By: Oliver Fisher

AC Milan head coach Ruben Amorim hopes to welcome three players back during the international break, a report claims.

La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning provided updates on the possible return dates for Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, each of whom missed the win over Genoa due to various muscle issues.

The paper states that Amorim hopes to have all three players back for the match against Frosinone on November 22nd, or during the following week. The break will allow the coach to lighten the work load after a particularly intense period.

The players not called up by their respective national teams will take a few days off and return to training on Monday 16 November. The injured players will continue to use Milanello for their recovery.

Pavlovic will not answer the Serbia call-up and will remain in Italy to overcome the injury that prevented him from playing against Ferencváros and Genoa. The central defender will thus avoid further travel and international commitments, allowing him to focus fully on his recovery.

Tomori and Loftus-Cheek are also hopeful. The defender had been sidelined by a right thigh flexor injury, while the midfielder had suffered a left thigh flexor injury. Both will need to be reassessed before being given the all-clear.

As mentioned, the goal is to have them available for the game against high-flying Frosinone, or for the subsequent matches against Olympiacos and Cagliari.
