There are some notable absentees from this afternoon’s game between AC Milan and Liverpool at the Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai.
MilanNews report that Charles De Ketelaere, Divock Origi, Fikayo Tomori, Brahim Diaz and Junior Messias will all not take part in the game as they have not even been named on the bench by Stefano Pioli.
Apart from the Belgian forward – who has a muscle problem – each of the other four players are currently doing individual work and therefore were not deemed in the right condition to play against the Premier League side.
The most worrying news therefore relates to Origi, who has apparently suffered a strain in his flexor muscle and could therefore be looking at yet more time out due to injury. He would have no doubt loved to have faced off against his former club, but will instead have to watch from the sidelines.
