The returns from the first minute of Acerbi and sticks in defense are likely, while Pavard will still be unavailable for the re -enacting of the ankle problem
Only confirmations from today’s training at the Mason Virginia Athletic Center: Thuram and Frattesi have increased the intensity of their work on the field, running at an excellent rhythm but not in a group. And therefore they will not have time to recover in time for the last match of the group against River Plate. Chivu will decide tomorrow whether to bring them to the maximum on the bench, but this is also a reduced possibility. Certainly they will return available for any eighth final. Those who are in place is Dumfries: even today the Dutchman trained with his teammates, he will be the owner on the right wing, for Chivu it is excellent news after the double absence against Monterrey and River.
The Romanian technician still has tomorrow’s training to decide on the training: the return from the first minute of Acerbi and Sticons in defense probably, while Pavard will still be unavailable for the re -establishing of the ankle problem that has conditioned his entire season finale. Doubts in midfield and also on the module, while in attack the launch from the first minute of Pio Esposito seems to be taken for granted: it would be the debut as a starter in the first team for the young center forward, highly esteemed by Chivu.
