APPIANO GENTILE - The day after kicking off the new year with three points at Empoli, the Nerazzurri returned to work at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti to start the countdown to Sunday's lunchtime match with Sassuolo at the Stadio Meazza.
Roberto Mancini divided his squad up for today's workout: the players involved at the Stadio Castellani had a warmdown session while the others focused on technique and tactics followed by strength work with a series of small-sided games completing the day's programme.
