Segrate is working in the gym to prepare Sunday’s big derby against Milan following its fifth consecutive win obtained last weekend against Loreto. Belgium spiker Van Den Dries has left to join his national team, which will prepare for a Pre-Olympic tournament in France from November 23 to 27, but the club asked for the players to come back to play the derby. It is waiting for an answer.

“I am extremely proud of my players and of the way everybody is doing so far – said captain Max Russo – Even the ones who don’t play much give their contribution in training during the week. Being ready when needed is my job, I am the third middle blocker. Roberto (Braga) is much stronger than I am, but when they need me, I’m ready”.
