From Yokohama to Yerevan: The 15 Milan players called up for international duty

AC Milan will be the most impacted Serie A team when it comes to international call-ups during the current break.

The first pause of the 2026-27 season is upon us, and unlike previous campaigns this will be quite a lengthy one. The merging of the September and October windows means an extended break and a busy schedule for several Milan players.
