AC Milan will travel to Los Angeles tomorrow for their pre-season tour in the United States and the squad has now been revealed by the club. A few from the Primavera are included, while some first-team players are missing.
The Rossoneri played their first pre-season friendly earlier this evening, beating Serie C side Lumezzane 7-0. Christian Pulisic bagged a brace of assists in the clash, while both Tommaso Pobega and Lorenzo Colombo got a brace of goals.
Milan will face significantly tougher opponents in the United States, though, and Stefano Pioli will fortunately be able to rely on a strong squad. The stars of the team are all included while the Primavera stars Chaka Traore, Jan-Carlo Simic and others are included as well.
Goalkeepers: Maignan, Sportiello, Mirante, Nava.
Defenders: Kjaer, Tomori, Kalulu, Florenzi, Calabria, Theo Hernandez, Gabbia, Simic, Thiaw, Bartesaghi.
Midfielders: Krunic, Loftus-Cheek, Pobega, Adli, Zeroli, Reijnders.
Forwards: Pulisic, Leao, Giroud, Saelemaekers, Chaka-Traore, De Ketelaere, Messias, Colombo, Romero.
It’s worth noting that Fode Ballo-Toure, Mattia Caldara, Marko Lazetic, Divock Origi and Ante Rebic have all been left out of the squad. Not because they are injured, but because they aren’t part of Milan’s plans and should leave.
I hope Fode Ballo-Toure, Mattia Caldara, Divock Origi and Ante Rebic will realise, sooner rather than later, that best solution for them and club is their leave.
And CDK as well
This players are not doing anything for the club
Good
I think they should give Origi another season.
Big NO…😔😔😔😔
Should have left Messias home as well.
He is Pioli’s darling boy
Giving Messias another chance is better than keeping Origi..
No Devis Vasquez too.
it’s baffles me as well for him not making the list of players going with the team
Why Lazetic? The boy seems a promising striker maybe even better than Colombo… Balo and Rebic refused to leave even if they got offers but Lazetic deverved to be in the squad… my opinion. I hope at least they send him on loan
This is a problem with Pioli. It happened to Bakayoko and others before. It gives bad influence to the team. I hate this coach.
I think both of them should be given the chance(Lazetic, Colombo) so that their potentials can be known or better still another year on loan
The truth about Bakayoko not playing was because management didn’t want to pay the agreed fees to buy the player once he plays a certain amount of games. It was the same situation with Vranckx.
There were times both players could have helped the team, but Pioli didn’t play them, maybe because he doesn’t like their approach, or whatever. It was obvious that they weren’t his kind of players and if they played the amount of games that would force Milan to pay the agreed fees, then he would be stuck with them.
What about Bennacer?
He is injured and will be sidelined for a long period of time
How is Messias giving a chance and Origi is not??🤷🏻♂️
Well, Messias had more goal contributions than Origi.
I think both of them should be given the chance(Lazetic, Colombo) so that their potentials can be known or better still another year on loan
Lazetic should be given a chance don’t want milan loosing him, he has a lot to offer
