Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao are not part of the Milan squad that will play a friendly against Roma in Perth on May 31, but Olivier Giroud has travelled with the rest of the team.

Milan released their squad list for the final game of the season against Roma in Perth, Australia, on May 31.

The Rossoneri took off for Australia on Monday afternoon but a few big players didn’t leave with the rest of the team.

Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Antonio Mirante, Simon Kjaer, and Ismael Bennacer are not part of the squad that Daniele Bonera will lead against Roma. According to Milannews, Leao was not included in the team for personal reasons.

The injured Mike Maignan and Samuel Chukwueze have also remained in Italy.

However, Giroud is expected to make his final appearance with the Rossoneri as the Frenchman has joined the team on the flight to Australia.

Club legend Franco Baresi, the current honorary vice president, has flown to Australia alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Chief Commercial Officer Maikel Oettle, as reported by Milannews.

Milan will predictably appoint Paulo Fonseca as their new head coach after their return to Italy.
