While chaos rages over the date of the Rome derby — moved to Monday by the Prefect — and that of 4 other matches as well (with the League even filing an appeal to the TAR), Serie A teams are preparing for the end of the season and the summer transfer window.
Let’s take a look at today’s most important news.
Juventus, K. Thuram still training separately
As reported by TuttoJuve and SOS Fanta, Kephren Thuram trained separately today due to muscle problems.
His place in the starting lineup against Fiorentina remains in doubt after watching the match against Lecce from the bench.
Milan, Modric wants to be available against Genoa
Although Massimiliano Allegri said in his last press conference that Modric’s return was "almost impossible", the Croatian is recovering quickly from a fractured cheekbone.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he even wants to return against Genoa (Sunday or Monday) wearing a protective mask.
Inter, Pavard wants to stay
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Pavard will return to Inter intending to stay in the squad: "Pavard has decided to part ways with Olympique Marseille to show his value once again to the Nerazzurri club, with whom he still has 2 years left on his contract".
A decision that will imply — as stated by Romano — an apology from the defender after his behavior at the end of last summer’s transfer window.
Napoli, KDB available
Antonio Conte had said that KDB was "banged up" after needing 4 stitches following a collision in training. The player will still be available for Napoli’s upcoming matches.
As Belgian newspaper HLN writes, De Bruyne was rested as a precaution and will be available for the end of the season and for the World Cup.
Roma, Dybala’s agents at Trigoria
Journalist Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo reports that Paulo Dybala’s agents visited Trigoria this morning to discuss La Joya’s contract situation.
Gasperini would like to keep him because he considers him important from a technical standpoint, but the final decision will still come from the Friedkins.
Lazio, Cataldi also returns
Good news for Lazio ahead of the Coppa Italia: Cataldi also rejoined the group in today’s training session, an important recovery after Zaccagni’s return yesterday.
Now Sarri will be able to count on the entire squad, excluding the long-term absentees.
Fiorentina, Kean close to returning
As La Nazione writes, Kean had a double training session scheduled today in order to regain fitness ahead of the match against Juventus.
The striker’s goal is to rejoin the group on Wednesday and play in the final two matches: a clear intention from the forward despite safety already being secured.
