Lecce has resumed preparations for the next championship match against Udinese, with coach Maurizio DiFrancesco organizing a series of training sessions aimed at optimizing the players' form. The team was divided into two groups to work on strength, technique and tactics, with themed games to simulate match situations.
Serbian midfielder Aleksandar Štulić returned to play with the rest of the group after a short period of absence. During today's session, Štulić regularly participated in on-field exercises, demonstrating that he is ready to contribute to DiFrancesco's project. His return was welcomed with enthusiasm by the rest of the department, who were able to benefit from his experience and his ability to lead the midfield.
Meanwhile, the two Swedish forwards Erling Haaland and Scott have been doing custom work. Haaland worked on specific aspects of his game, such as finishing and positioning in the box, while Scott focused on his physical condition and passing accuracy. Both players received targeted support to improve their performances before the match against Udinese.
The third point of attention was Serbian defender Dušan Ilić, who received treatment for an ankle problem. The club's physiotherapist has carefully monitored his evolution, ensuring that Ilić is able to return to the pitch without risk of injury. Personalized care was an integral part of the player's recovery plan, who underwent a series of rehabilitation and strengthening exercises.
For tomorrow, DiFrancesco has scheduled an afternoon training session at Via del Mare, where the team will continue to work on tactical and team aspects in view of the match against Udinese. The Salento club aims to consolidate their physical form and perfect their game strategy, with the aim of obtaining a positive result against the Juventus team.
