According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com – via Juan Coronel on Twitter – Pioli has decided to give three players from Ignazio Abate’s side the chance to show what they can do at Milanello.

Hugo Cuenca, Victor Eletu and the Chaka Traoré will be part of the preseason with the Milan first team. The latter two could then be sent out on loan to gain more experience, whereas Cuenca could stay.

Cuenca was one of the revelations for the Primavera last season as he amassed four goals and four assists in 22 league games playing mostly as an attacking midfielder, though he can play on the right too.

Eletu has now racked up 48 games for Milan Primavera playing mostly as a defensive midfielder with one goal and three assists to his name, and we have profiled the Nigerian.

Chaka meanwhile is probably the youth player who has the most hype. The left winger scored seven times in 22 league games last season having netted eight the season before, and he impressed in the UEFA Youth League too.
