As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the Biancocelesti squad will fly to Germany today to begin the second part of their pre-season preparations, spending the next six days in a retreat in Marienfeld.

Sarri wants to avoid any potential negative consequences in the dressing room and so is likely to pick Immobile, with Milinkovic-Savic then becoming the vice-captain.
The choice is all up to Sarri, who also wants to talk to the squad to get their thoughts. Immobile mostly wore the captain’s armband last season, with previous captain Senad Lulic kept on the sidelines for a large part of the season due to an injury.
