Gattuso spoke to Milan TV yesterday, saying:
It’s no coincidence that we give players a recovery day after games, but many of them are here at Milanello for treatment today,
Pipita will be evaluated in the coming days and we hope it’s nothing serious. Franck [Kessié] is in a bit of pain but that’s normal when you play so often. He has a high threshold and can play with pain.
We hope to recover [Hakan] Calhanoglu and [Davide] Calabria, because they are very important players for us and we need to recharge our batteries in the two games before the international break
