Maxi Lopez doubt to face Milan

Maxi Lopez might not get the chance to face his former teammates, as the Sampdoria striker is likely to miss the trip to Milan on Sunday.

The Argentine spent the last six months on loan at San Siro and was relishing the opportunity to return in this weekend’s Serie A encounter.

However, he trained separately from his teammates today and remains a major doubt to feature due to a back injury.
