From Braga to Bristol: The 13 Milan players called up for international duty
By: Oliver Fisher
The second international break of the season is upon us, and Milanello will once again be left pretty much empty.
Milan won against Genoa on Sunday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris to ensure they headed into the fortnight off in the right way, having also snuck back into the top four. After the break comes a big game at home against high-flying Frosinone, but not before flights jet off around the globe.
The man of the moment is without a doubt Alphadjo Cisse, who is the top scorer this season with eight goals. A senior Italian national team call-up arrived for the 20-year-old and he did a press conference on Tuesday, while he is set to start at San Siro against France as per reports.
