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.
