MN: The nine absentees for Milan-Trento and the reason for each

By Oliver Fisher -

There are a number of notable absentees for AC Milan’s friendly against Trento this evening, with a variety of different reasons cited.

Given that Milan were in action last night against Monza at the U-Power Stadium in the Silvio Berlusconi Trophy, Stefano Pioli has opted to field a starting line-up for this evening’s game at Milanello that is heavily rotated.

As MilanNews report, Milan’s absentees for the friendly against Trento – in addition to those who played a lot of minutes yesterday against Monza – include Alexis Saelemaekers (fever), Junior Messias (injury) and Davide Calabria (injury).

Charles De Ketelaere has been left out because negotiations are ongoing over his potential move to Atalanta on loan, while Marko Lazetic, Fode Ballo-Toure, Divock Origi and Mattia Caldara are totally out of the plans.

Finally, Noah Okafor will also not take part on the game due to a management of his work load following his arrival.

  1. Marko Lazetic. Another classic example of how Milan is sending careers of promising young footballers into limbo these days. Why do they even keep signing for Milan ?

    1. Lazetic was given a chance on loan in the Austrian Bundesliga, played 10 games, made no impact whatsoever, and the nearly got relegated, winning 4 matches out of 22, and people are crying over this guy. So if he couldn’t cut it out there what exactly makes these people think he can perform in Serie A. He wasn’t even our best player when he was playing in the Primavera. So stop crying over spilt milk, you can take risks on youngsters, they can either turn into Kaka or Hachim Mastour. You’re either good enough or you’re not.
