AC Milan injury news: Leao, Diaz and Mandzukic boost as trio set to return

AC Milan have received positive injury news as Rafael Leao, Brahim Diaz, Mario Mandzukic and Alessio Romagnoli are all back in group training.

The Rossoneri face a decisive run of nine games to end the current Serie A season, as we look to secure qualification for the Champions League.

In turn, coach Stefano Pioli will be eager to have as close to a fully-fit squad at his disposal for the run-in, and it would appear as though he’s edging closer to that becoming a reality.

As noted by MilanNews’ Antonio Vitiello in his tweet below, Leao, Diaz and Mandzukic are all back in group training this week and they will hope to be involved in some form against Parma on Saturday.

Naturally, it will only be a boost for Pioli if that attacking trio can make a positive impact if called upon, as they have struggled this season to be decisive.

Nevertheless, it gives the Milan boss alternative options in the final third, and that could prove to be useful against a potentially stubborn Parma backline.

Further, MilanNews report that Romagnoli also joined in group training on Thursday and he will continue to step up his recovery in the coming days in order to be fit and ready to challenge for a starting berth.

The club captain seemingly lost his place in the starting XI to Fikayo Tomori before his untimely injury setback, and so he’ll hope to have the chance to regain his place in the line-up before the season is over.
