Despite the defeat in Perugia, Milan’s position remained unchanged thanks to the other results. Milan is still sixth with a two-point advantage on Sora and still within reaching distance of Segrate and Città di Castello. On Sunday, the team will take on the young stars of Club Italia. Earlier this season, Milan had won the fixture in Roma but only at the tie-break.

“Club Italia is a young but very interesting team – said sport director Claudio Bonati – They’re having a good season. The important thing for us is to immediately bounce back and focus on playing well”.
