Milan coach Massimiliano Alegri confirmed that the experienced midfielder Luka Modrić will be available for Sunday's away match against Genoa. However, he dodged questions about rumors of a feud with Zlatan Ibrahimović, who is the club's main advisor to owner Jerry Cardinale.

“The good news is that Modrić is available. Today he tried out the mask and trained with the team, so he will be with us tomorrow. Samuel Ricci, however, injured his knee this morning. He will still travel for the match, and we will see his condition tomorrow morning. Everyone else is doing well. It’s normal for everyone to be disappointed with our situation, especially us. I knew it would be tough to qualify for the Champions League, but tomorrow we have a chance to secure it against a team that is doing well. We need order and patience. We’ll see how things are tomorrow evening. The team trained well this week. The boys also rested during the three-day training camp. Tomorrow, we will need a little bit of luck too.”

It’s normal to have the ambition to achieve the best possible result when you are at Milan. I have always said that the result is the only thing that matters.
