Serie A giants Milan prepare for the opening Champions League game of the season against Liverpool.
The Rossoneri are training at Milanello this morning, and as reported by Milannews, German defender Thiaw was not seen on the pitch as he’s still dealing with ankle issues.
The former Schalke 04 defender won’t be eligible against the Reds on Tuesday, and the same goes for Marco Sportiello, Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Luka Jovic. The latter has not been included in Milan’s UEFA list for the league phase.
