Alessandro Florenzi and Rafael Leao are looking very sharp ahead of AC Milan’s match against Fiorentina this weekend as the pair produced some impressive nutmegs in training. 

A video from Florenzi shows Leao, the defender and others taking part in a rondo, in which the person in the middle gets nutmegged twice in quick succession and walks away in embarrassment.

Florenzi will need to be at the top of his game on Saturday evening as he is expected to take the place of usual left-back Theo Hernandez, who is going to be serving a suspension.

Florenzi’s minutes generally come when he is deputising for Davide Calabria at right-back, but he does occasionally have to play on the left due to a lack of depth in that position.

He has played in eight games as a left-back this season and it is fair to say that his record is mixed. Four of those games have ended in wins for Milan, but there have also been three draws and a defeat, which was against Atalanta.
