AC Milan had 17 players called up for international duty as their respective national teams played their final games before the World Cup in Qatar that starts in November.
MilanNews recalls that of the 17 players called up two were rather quickly ruled out of playing any part as Theo Hernandez exited the France camp with a right adductor problem and Sandro Tonali also did not play any part for Italy due to muscle fatigue.
The report highlights the remaining players that were called up to represent their country and who will return to Milanello feeling the most tired in terms of minutes player.

Heard Kjaer got a knock. Can we confirm he is not injured?
Let’s hope we are ready for Milan Juve in 2 weeks, let’s hope Tata clutches up👌
Dest was actually one of the very few bright spots in a terrible two games for USMNT. He did well as right back vs Japan making some good runs/dribbles down the right side and delivered an inch perfect cross to the head of Jesus Ferreira in the match that JF did horribly with and didn’t get it close to on frame but should’ve scored.
Then he played left back v Saudi Arabia and did well again really the only bright spot in attack (as Deandre Yedlin was TERRIBLE as right back for USA v Saudis). USA needs to start Scally (from Monchengladbach) and Dest as outside backs and not Yedlin.
What about Krunic? He wasn’t called by Bosnia ???
