The condition of Ange-Yoan Bonny is improving ahead of the derby. The French striker, sidelined due to a minor muscle issue picked up in the match against Genoa, did not have to undergo any instrumental tests. According to Corriere dello Sport, it was only a case of overload.
In the coming hours, Cristian Chivu will assess whether to include him in today’s training session or wait for tomorrow’s session, when the group will be back to full strength. The former Parma player is unlikely to be in contention for a starting spot, but his presence on the bench would still be an important resource for the match against Milan. With his characteristics, he could prove to be a useful weapon during the game, also because he would be the only offensive alternative available.
The situation is different for Lautaro Martinez. The captain is continuing his recovery from a soleus problem in his left leg and will not be available for the match. The goal is to be fit for the away game on March 22 against Fiorentina, an appointment that comes before the international break. The Argentine, moreover, will do everything possible not to miss the big match between Argentina and Spain, scheduled – for now – for March 27 in Qatar.
