Milan, Amorim: "Tomori, Fofana and Gimenez are good players but it is impossible for them to return to the project"

Milan, manager Ruben Amorim spoke at the usual pre-match press conference at Milanello

AC Milan return to San Siro for Friday's early kick-off against Venezia after opening with a win away to Torino, thanks to goals from Cisse and Rabiot. Ruben Amorim previewed the clash with the Venetians and also answered questions on the transfer market: "I think we need to improve the team’s mechanisms and stability. We need to prepare it so that everyone is involved. It is impossible to be competitive if the same players always play: to win trophies you have to know how to change. In Serie A, opponents change from week to week in terms of their characteristics. It is important to rotate with that in mind too."

On Leao and the three players out of the squad

The transfer window is about to close. Are you happy that this is the last match with the window still open, and can you give us an update on Leao and Ricci. "I am very happy with the squad. I don't know what will happen between now and the end of the transfer window. Leao is not ready to be called up, he has trained only once and he will not be involved. We have to wait five days for the end of the transfer window. If anyone arrives, it will be because they can help us both now and in the future. I will try to choose the best players for tomorrow's match. At the end of the transfer window, we will talk about our squad."

Is it a definitive decision on Tomori, Fofana and Gimenez or could they be reintegrated? "It's not that they are not excellent players and excellent men, but it is impossible to train with 27 players available. We, as a club, have to allow them to do their work in the best way. The transfer window is open, but my focus is on Venezia."
