Franck Kessie was absent from squad training today ahead of Milan’s derby against Inter this weekend.
The 25-year-old Ivorian midfielder’s adventure in the Africa Cup of Nations ended on Wednesday this week after Egypt won the Round of 16 clash. The player had the cane to stay in Africa for a few days to rest and relax, and he was expected to return to Milan last night.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Kessie did not return yesterday and so was absent from training today. He will be available tomorrow, a day later than planned, and there’s no physical reasons for his absence today.
The Ivorian midfielder has fully recovered from the blow to the ribs suffered in the Round of 16 clash against Egypt and he’s expected to start in what could be his last Derby della Madonnina for Milan in his career.
Kessie’s contract expires with the Rossoneri at the end of the season and he is not set to renew, wanting wages that were considered excessive by the club’s management.
