Most of the Rossoneri stars are currently on international duty, but Allegri still wanted to play this friendly to test players coming back from injuries such as Pulisic, Jashari, Tomori and Estupinan.

The game is played against Serie B side Entella at Solbiate Arno, as the Italy national team will use the Milanello training centre to prepare for Sunday’s home game against Norway.

Adrien Rabiot and Santiago Gimenez did not join their national teams this month and are still injured.

They are not available for today’s friendly, but are expected to return to group training next week, hoping to be available for the derby against Inter on November 23.

Jashari joined Milan over the summer, but only made two appearances in competitive games, having suffered a broken fibula at the end of August.

Pulisic spent nearly a month on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury in October and already returned to action last week, making a substitute appearance in a 2-2 away draw at Parma.

Milan XI v. Entella: Terracciano; Cappelletti, Vladimirov, Minotti; Estupinan, Loftus-Cheek, Fofana, Jashari, Borsani; Magrassi, Pulisic.
