[FOTO Sunday, 04 December 2005 15:02:18] APPIANO GENTILE - Roberto Mancini divided his squad into two groups for Sunday morning's training session at Angelo Moratti Sports Centre. Those who played in Saturday evening's victory over Ascoli did a light session, with warm-up exercises, ball possession work, athletic-technical exercises and a practice match for the others, including Nicolas Burdisso who was back at work in Appiano Gentile today after several days' leave.
Marcelo Zé Maria had the day off, while Alvaro Recoba had therapy after picking up a slight muscle strain in the first half of last night's match at the Giuseppe Meazza. Julio Ricardo Cruz is still off with the flu and sore throat that has kept him from training with the Nerazzurri since Friday.
