Massimiliano Allegri granted the AC Milan squad a day off on Thursday, but that didn’t stop two players showing up anyway.
The team did a double session on Wednesday and Allegri clearly liked what he saw, because he cancelled the training that was planned for today. So, preparation ahead of Sunday’s match against Juventus is scheduled to resume on Friday in the morning.

Bartesaghi and Gimenez at Milanello
According to Sky (via MilanPress) however, not everyone took advantage of the rest day. As often happens at Milanello, two players showed up regardless to put in a bit of extra work, and this time not because of the necessity to recover from injury.
Davide Bartesaghi and Santiago Gimenez were present at Milanello for physiotherapy. The striker in particular, coming off months of injury, is trying to regain his full fitness, especially ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
Meanwhile, the broadcaster also gave an update on this weekend’s opponents live from their training ground Continassa. The news concerns Kenan Yildiz and Emil Holm in particular.
The Turk’s chances of starting are increasing: the next training sessions will be crucial, but the staff are confident. However, the situation is different for the Swede, who has reportedly been experiencing renewed pain and might miss out.
