Today, Milan flies to the United States, where the Rossoneri will participate in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024. Several friendlies await Fonseca, who, while waiting for the returns of the internationals and the transfer market additions, will be able to test his new Milan against high-level opponents: Sunday 28 July 2024 against Manchester City FC in New York City (00:00 Italian time), Thursday 1 August 2024 against Real Madrid CF in Chicago (2:30 Italian time) and Wednesday 7 August 2024 against FC Barcelona in Baltimore, MD (01:30 Italian time).
The footballers available
In addition to the players present since the first day of training, Luka Jovic returned to the team on July 23, while Musah and Pulisic will also join the US tour on July 26, returning from the Copa America. Leao will follow on July 28 and Okafor on July 30. Then the last players eliminated in the semi-finals: the Frenchmen Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez will resume training on August 2 at Milanello, in addition to Tijjani Reijnders who will be back on August 3 at Milanello. The last to join the group will be Morata on August 10, the day of resuming training at Milanello after three days of rest after the tour.
Fonseca’s words
Paulo Fonseca, the new Rossoneri coach, on the eve of leaving for the tour in the United States lets the fans know that he is happy with these first days of training at Milanello: “Satisfied with this first part of work at Milanello, now we leave for the second part in the United States, with the same desire and ambition to continue growing. Forza Milan!”. Positivity and confidence certainly, but Fonseca will have to be helped as soon as possible by his managers with some expected purchases from the market.
