Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic actively participated in Thursday's first-team training session in Milan, signaling their imminent return from injury layoffs. The 15-year-old Francesco Camarda also took part in the training. AC Milan's coach, Stefano Pioli, faces a challenging injury situation, with significant absences in both defensive and offensive positions.
Long-term setbacks include centre-back Pierre Kalulu, and Simon Kjaer is anticipated to be unavailable for Saturday's clash against Fiorentina, as reported by Calciomercato.com. Another defensive pillar, Mattia Caldara, is set to remain out of action for several more weeks. On a positive note, Malick Thiaw returned to training on Thursday after overcoming a recent bout of flu that had kept him sidelined earlier in the week. In addition to the defensive concerns, Loftus-Cheek, absent from Serie A starting lineups since late September due to persistent injuries and fitness issues, had a training run-out.
