After some intense training at the Milanello ahead of the new Serie A campaign, Super Eagles winger Samuel Chuwueze has been listed by AC Milan in its full travelling squad for the pre-season tour of the United States of America, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The squad was announced with a USA-themed graphic on the club’s official X account and it shows the 29 players that will be competing.

Milan has three very tough games to play in the USA, as they take on Premier League champions Manchester City, LaLiga and Champions League winners Real Madrid, and Spanish giants Barcelona.

This is Paulo Fonseca’s first ever pre-season tour with Milan and it comes at a very awkward time for the Portuguese coach. With the 2024 European Championship and the Copa America having just happened, many players who took part in those tournaments are still on holiday.

Theo Hernandez, Mike Maignan and Tijjani Reijnders are expected at Milanello on August 3, whilst Alvaro Morata should be there on August 10.

Christian Pulisic and Yunush Musah will be in the USA from July 26, Noah Okafor from July 30 and Rafael Leao from July 28.
