INTERNATIONALS: THE ROSSONERI CALLED UP

There are plenty of Rossoneri involved on various different fronts. The first international break of the 2021/22 season is upon us. Thirteen of our boys with join their respective national teams over the next week. After the summer, the road to Qatar 2022 reopens with qualification to the next World Cup and, at the same time, we also have qualifiers to U21 Euro 2023.
