The Bosnian took part in separate training session and his work load will be increased gradually, while the Danish player is close to full recovery and as from tomorrow could even take part in the mini-match. Zanetti could soon be once again at the disposal of Ranieri as his recovery seems to be nearing its end.
The training session held at Vinovo this morning was attended by 20 players including 8 from the Primavera and 3 goalkeepers. After an initial warm-up the players participated in an 8-aside ball exercise to build action speed and then the usual mini-match.
