Centro Bortolotti Training Complex, Zingonia
9:47 AM
The recovery session began with familiar routine as players moved through dynamic stretching near the main pitch, and the morning air carried autumn's bite while Demien worked through hamstring stretches beside Koopmeiners who was scrolling through his phone between sets.
Gasperini stood near the center circle with his assistants, watching without commentary as the squad loosened muscles that still carried Sunday's fatigue from the Roma draw, and when he blew his whistle once the group transitioned smoothly into light jogging around the perimeter.
Demien fell into step beside Lookman, and the English winger's pace was deliberately slow as his calves worked through the stiffness that came from ninety minutes of sprinting, and neither spoke while their breathing stayed even and controlled.
