Tough week in Castel Volturno, waiting for the return of the national teams. Antonio Conte continues his work with double training sessions, like Thursday but also yesterday, to keep the pace high towards the Cagliari match. Eyes focused in particular on Lukaku and Neres, who also gave up rest days at the beginning of the week to further improve their condition.
Today, however, a joint training session with the Primavera is scheduled before a bit of rest with Sunday and Monday off and the restart scheduled for Tuesday when most of the Azzurri will return from their national team matches. Starting with the national team who will close their matches against Italy on Monday by facing Israel and will return to the city on Tuesday. Like Rrahmani. On Wednesday, Kvaratskhelia is scheduled to return and the last to return could be Anguissa, unlike his competitors in his role who will be the first.
Notice from Scotland
Anguissa’s shirt could be immediately attacked by the two Scots who arrived at the end of the transfer window. McTominay and Gilmour both scored in Scotland’s defeat against Poland, confirming that they are in excellent condition as well as ready and internationally calibre players. They will play tomorrow in Portugal and from Monday they will be able to return and immediately dive into a typical week under Conte’s orders. Already from the match against Cagliari, if not from the start of the match, they could represent important solutions. The other doubt regarding the lineup will concern the Politano-Neres ballot which should continue throughout the season while it will be difficult not to see Lukaku as a starter after two weeks under Conte’s orders, also adding extra high-intensity work.
