13 players from the squad of Montella will play with national teams in this break.
After the match at San Siro with Sassuolo on Sunday evening, 13 first team Milan players will join their national teams.
One game in particular that will be interesting is the encounter between Paraguay and Colombia as Gustavo Gomez will be facing Carlos Bacca in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match.
The Italian squad meanwhile has 5 Rossoneri representatives including the 17-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma and the 21-year-old Alessio Romagnoli. The CB was originally included in the squad of Giampiero Ventura in the last break but in the end was “loaned” to the U21 squad and didn’t get a chance to make his debut for his country’s senior side.

Nice but I would’ve liked much better if Palette was included in that Italy list I think he deserved it. .
Expect to see more players from Milan in the Italian national team in the future…this is only the beginning!
And can someone tell me why Niang is never selected for France?
Because his talents are off the roof
Niang deserves a france call up
Niang is never selected for France because he can’t bench anyone from the bench, if u know wat I mean.
Niang to change his nationality to Nigeria
Joseph’s dreams has nothing on this statement.
I thought he was originally Senegalese?

Milan will suffer less goals this season, if we can be consistent with paletta, romagnoli, mattia and calabria.
