GdS: Jashari and Pulisic gearing up for Milan’s friendly against Entella

AC Milan will play a friendly game against Virtus Entella during the international break, above all to give the likes of Ardon Jashari and Christian Pulisic some playing time. 

The 2-2 draw against Parma was undoubtedly a disappointing one, but now Milan need to forget about it and start preparations for the derby against Inter. As part of those preparations, the Rossoneri will play a friendly against the Serie B side Virtus Entella on Friday, November 14.

The Genoa-based side are 14th in Serie B, so we are not talking about a super tough opponent for a decimated Milan squad, but will still provide good exercise. As stated by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo at the bottom), that exercise will be especially good for Jashari and Pulisic.

Jashari has recovered from the broken fibula, sitting on the bench for the last two games, but now he needs some proper playing time to get back into things. The Virtus Entella friendly will provide exactly that, while for Pulisic it will be a case of regaining top condition.

Adrien Rabiot is unlikely to feature in the friendly and will instead focus his efforts on getting back before the derby against Inter. The game is scheduled for two weeks from now, so the feeling is that there is enough time.
