After the convincing victory against Lecce and the deserved rest granted by Rúben Amorim to recharge the batteries, in the Rossoneri house it is time to get moving again. The players who stayed in Milan will return to work at Milanello only tomorrow morning, ending a pause of more than a week.

The Portuguese coach will restart however from a particular situation: the squad will inevitably be reduced to the bone. There are indeed fifteen Rossoneri involved with their respective national teams. A record that Milan shares with Como, confirming them as the team with the highest number of call‑ups in the whole league.

Despite the absences, Amorim can count on some key pieces that remained at the base. In defence stands out Mario Gila: excluded from Spain's call‑ups, the defender enjoys the club's trust and is ready to work hard to secure the best condition.

At Milanello there are also other big names such as Alexis Saelemaekers. The Belgian recently lost his place in the national team, overtaken in the hierarchy by another Rossonero, Moreira. Space is also given to Christian Pulisic, temporarily excluded by the United States. For him it is a golden opportunity to accelerate the recovery of his ideal form after a rather difficult start to the season. Market and field curiosity: in the United States' latest outing against Peru, the prestigious number 10 shirt with stars and stripes ended up on the shoulders of another Milan player, Yunus Musah.
