Watch: Conceicao begins training on eve of Dinamo game with speech – Loftus-Cheek absent

Training got underway this morning on the eve of AC Milan’s final Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb, at least in the first phase.

As a reminder, Milan’s 1-0 win over Girona last week saw them climb into the top eight positions in the standings for the first time, and by winning in the Croatian capital on Wednesday they would guarantee staying there.

That means direct qualification for the last 16 of the competition without having to go through a two-legged play-off in February, something which would certainly be welcome.

Out on the fields at Milanello, Sergio Conceicao began the session on Tuesday with a long speech to the team before work began.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was absent, as well as Emerson Royal and Alessandro Florenzi who are continuing their long-term recoveries.
