Di Marzio: Updates arrive from Milanello on conditions of Jovic and Emerson Royal | OneFootball

Some updates have arrived regarding two of AC Milan’s injured players the day after the win over Venezia thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez.

Gianluca Di Marzio recalls that Luka Jovic – who was in the spotlight thanks to his brace in the Coppa Italia – was not included in the starting lineup at the last minute due to a problem encountered during the warm-ups.

The Serbia international had initially been included among the 11 starters, before suffering a back problem, which forced him to withdraw. In his place, Tammy Abraham took the field from the first minute.

Jovic only has ‘acute lumbago’ (lower back pain), excluding more serious problems. The appropriate therapies have already begun, and he will be managed in view of the next few games. In any case, he should return within a few days and be available for the Coppa Italia final on May 14 against Bologna.

Emerson Royal is also targeting a return to the field after the right calf injury he suffered against Girona in January. The former Tottenham and Barcelona full-back is still doing individual training.

However, he should return to group training in a few days to be able to return to the field by the end of the season.
