Milan leave for Perth this afternoon, with Christopher Nkunku, Pietro Terracciano and Pervis Estupiñán added to the group after sitting out the Celtic friendly, as Gazzetta dello Sport report (via SempreMilan).
The Australian leg is where this pre-season actually earns its keep. Serie A clubs trail the Premier League badly on commercial revenue, and a summer tour in a market like Australia is as much about the club's global brand as it is about match fitness. Milan barely had time to unpack from Glasgow before packing again, which tells you how much these dates matter to the commercial side of the operation.
The squad departs from Malpensa this afternoon, routed through Dubai to Perth. The football down under is not soft either: Milan face Inter on 5 August, a Derby della Madonnina played on the other side of the world, before flying to Jakarta to meet Chelsea on 8 August in the final match of the trip. Beyond the games, the club has lined up brand events across their time in Australia.
The travel schedule is staggered. Nkunku, Terracciano and Estupiñán join the main group today, with Estupiñán the first of the World Cup returnees to report back. Gonçalo Ramos and Rafael Leão land in Perth on Wednesday, while Alexis Saelemaekers, Ardon Jashari, Koni De Winter and Luka Modrić arrive on 2 August.
The two players Milan fans will worry about are staying home. Christian Pulisic and Santiago Giménez remain at Milanello from Wednesday to work through their injuries, so neither will feature on tour. Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan are due back in Italy on 12 August.
The result in Glasgow, a 2-2 draw rescued by a Francesco Camarda brace, matters less than the minutes and the miles at this stage. What Amorim needs from the next fortnight is bodies coming back and combinations forming, and with half the senior spine either injured or arriving late, the real work starts once everyone is finally in the same place.
