Milan went through their final training session at Milanello this afternoon ahead of the Italian Cup quarter-final at Sampdoria. New signing Emanuelson joined the rest of the squad for what was tactical work-out which lasted for around an hour and a half.

The injury crisis hitting the Milan midfield may force coach Allegri to immediately throw the new signings into deep water against Sampdoria. This was confirmed by the tactician himself in his press conference held today at Milanello: 'One of them, Emanuelson, will definitely play and the other, Van Bommel has a 90% chance of seeing action. It also depends on how Ambrosini will be doing. If he can’t make it, he’ll be replaced by Thiago. Roma will start in goal. Cassano? I don’t know yet if he’ll start tomorrow’.

Mark Van Bommel is now a Rossonero. After meeting Milan as an opponent in the Champions League several times, from now on the Dutch midfielder will help the Rossoneri cause.

Robinho, born on 25 January 1984, is celebrating his birthday today, for the first time as a Rossonero. The now 27-year-old has scored a total of 7 goals this season, 6 in Serie A and 1 in the Italian Cup. The most important thing about his contribution to the Milan cause is that he has shown great willingness to help the team, for which he’s been publicly lauded on more than one occasion.

In his press conference held at Milanello in the early afternoon, Milan defender Mario Yepes talked about himself, how united the Rossoneri squad is and the team’s prospects for the future.

After yesterday’s victory over Cesena, Milan were immediately back to work this morning. The squad was divided into two groups, with one training on the field and the other in the gym. Tomorrow, the Rossoneri will go through their last training session ahead of the Italian Cup encounter against Sampdoria.
