The team will reunite at Appiano Gentile later today.

However, Chivu will be without numerous international stars, with some of them expected to return tomorrow.

Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni will be among the first Nerazzurri players to return home.

Indeed, the 26-year-old is unavailable for Italy’s next FIFA World Cup qualifier due to suspension.

Therefore, he will leave the Azzurri today, with Chivu expecting him on the training ground tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the injured Marcus Thuram is still recovering from a thigh injury.

However, the 28-year-old will not be at Chivu’s disposal this weekend.
