This counts as good news, right?
Gigio Donnarumma has reportedly set his sights on being fit for this weekend’s match against Lazio.

Donnarumma was said to have trained yesterday on his own apart from the rest of the squad, but he did train. While he was said to be out for a few weeks with what was diagnosed as a Grade I lesion in his thigh, he’s working hard to be fit for this weekend’s important match. Milan not only have to deal with the Roman clubs, but Atalanta are level on points with Milan right now, so Milan have to pick up three points in order to at least maintain their place in the final Champions League spot.
Here’s hoping that Gigio is fit.
