GdS: Walker not in top condition after Feyenoord game and may be rested | OneFootball

The AC Milan squad were back in training yesterday after elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord, and some news has emerged about Kyle Walker.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, the first tactical indications on the team that Sergio Conceiçao will use against Torino on Saturday will only arrive today, when the work becomes a bit more intense compared to yesterday’s session.

In addition to the situation of Theo Hernandez – who might well end up being benched following his red card that cost the team against Feyenoord – there are also other positions that the coach will have to evaluate.

Kyle Walker did not come out in perfect condition from the last Champions League match, the report adds. There are a couple of days to recover but it is not certain that they will be enough to find the right level of fitness.

After all, the English full-back has been almost always on the pitch since he arrived. He was a starter in two Champions League matches, against Roma in the Coppa Italia and in three league games, showing his importance early on.

He was substituted in the last game against Verona after 45 minutes and it was confirmed after the game that this was pre-planned. Towards the end of his time at Manchester City he was not used as much, so some rest could be overdue.
