It’s been exactly 17 days since Francesco Acerbi suffered a new muscle injury at the start of the match against Verona. The defender, who slightly postponed his return to the field, made great progress in the latest training session.
The defender partially trained with the group and worked at a good pace without feeling pain. This means that, if he continues to show positive signs during the crucial test in today’s session, Acerbi will be called up for the Champions League away match against Bayer Leverkusen.
In light of Pavard’s absence, this is certainly great news for Simone Inzaghi. Despite the possible call-up to Germany, however, the defender’s real goal is Monday’s Lazio-Inter match on December 16th. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, Inzaghi wants him on the field from the first minute against his former team.
