MILAN: The Italian season resumes after a three-month suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic on Friday when Juventus, still chasing a possible league, cup and Champions League treble, host AC Milan in the return leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final.
“None of the staff at this moment knows where the preparation is because we come off an abnormal interruption," he said, adding that the stoppage was completely different to the usual close season. Sarri feared that the risk of injury would be"very high" as the players would have lost muscular strength while their motivation was also an unknown."Each player has experienced this period in a different way. Now the point will be to understand what motivations everyone has within themselves," he said.
The team will also be missing 38-year-old forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a calf injury he suffered in training last month. The Swede has revitalised the team since signing for six months in January.
