Milan boss Sinisa Mihajlovic ordered double training sessions following his team's 2-1 defeat at Atalanta last weekend, which left the San Siro outfit in sixth position in the table and now six points behind fifth-placed Inter Milan.
The reverse last Sunday made it four league games without a win for Milan, who have drawn with both Chievo and Lazio, in addition to losing at Sassuolo since the start of the month. A top-five finish would be good enough for a spot in the Europa League for next season, but they have work to do with just seven games of the campaign left.
Eight league defeats this term is not a disastrous record, but they have only won 13 times, with 10 draws harming their challenge for a European finish. They have recorded nine wins at San Siro, however, and only conceded 14 home goals, which is among the best defensive records in the division.
It does appear that the Red and Blacks will improve on last season's 10th-place finish in the table, but for a club that has won the Serie A title on 18 occasions, it does promise to be another underwhelming campaign.
