At Appiano Gentile, the staggered return phase has begun for the players who were involved in the World Cup until the very end. Lautaro Martinez, John Stones, and Marcus Thuram showed up today at Pinetina to start their individual preparation ahead of the new season, while waiting to join the rest of the squad, who are still on the Asian tour.

The three underwent their first training session under the supervision of the technical staff. With them were also Manuel Akanji and Petar Sucic, who had left the group during the trip between Hong Kong and Perth to enjoy the arrival of little Josip.

The training program will continue in the coming days, with the aim of getting all the players into optimal condition ahead of the first official matches of the season.
