Milan are the Serie A team who have sent the most players away on international duty for this break, level with Como on 15. They could have been outright top, as Christian Comotto was also in contention for a call-up, but the midfielder, born in 2008, will remain at Milanello to recover from a physical issue.
Comotto's ankle problem
According to reports published today by 'Tuttosport' and 'Corriere dello Sport', the former Spezia player is dealing with ankle inflammation, which he is currently trying to overcome. The three-week break will give Ruben Amorim the opportunity to have the youngster back at full fitness ahead of the hectic October-November period.
Still waiting for his debut
Comotto has yet to make his debut this season despite an encouraging pre-season. However, he should have opportunities over the next month and a half, with Milan set to play nine matches in just under 30 days. Rotating the available players will be crucial, and the 2008-born midfielder could prove to be an important option for the Portuguese coach.
