Already back in Europe, the Argentine striker will resume training tomorrow at Appiano Gentile.

With the highly anticipated Milan derby on the horizon, Cristian Chivu has no time to waste.

Therefore, preparations for Sunday’s mouth-watering clash against AC Milan start tomorrow.

In addition to Lautaro, Chivu also expects to see Hakan Calhanoglu on the training ground.

However, the 31-year-old has withdrawn from the national team due to a minor wrist injury.

As such, he will have to undergo further checks before being allowed to return to training.
