    Leeds United v AC Milan
    Saturday 9th August@15:00 | Aviva Stadium


    Leeds United will be rounding off their pre-season schedule with an exciting match against European giants AC Milan on Saturday afternoon at Dublin's Aviva Stadium. The match will serve as Daniel Farke's last chance to tinker around with the starting line up and formations before the arrival of Everton on the 18th

    Leeds have had a successful pre-season, holding old rivals Manchester United to a goalless draw, and then scoring a total of seven goals against Verl and Paderborn during their time in Germany earlier this month. Upon returning to Blightly, Leeds were held to a respectable 1-1 draw with Villareal, with Joel Piroe finding the equaliser 25 minutes from time.

    Injuries have affected the Whites, with Dan James, Jack Harrison, Sebastian Bournauw, Jayden Bogle, and new goalkeeper Lucas Perri all missing the Villarreal match. It remains to be seen whether they can return in time for Saturday's game, but 16-year-old Harry Gray, continuing the family tradition, is expected to play some part. Mateo Joseph, Patrick Bamford, and Joe Gelhardt are set to leave the club.

    AC Milan has also been busy in the transfer market, with 39-year-old Croatian maestro Luka Modric being their most eye-catching arrival. Swiss midfielder Ardon Jashari has joined from Club Brugge, having been voted Player of the Season in Belgium's Pro League. Italy international Samuele Ricci will bolster an engine room now missing key man Tijjani Reijnders, who signed for Manchester City.

    Anyone attending beware! There is an OLOF on the loose and Michael is as tight as a nuns snatch in a bar. Take your wallet or avoid at all costs, you have been warned :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Meslier hasn't travelled. Perri and Darlow have.
    Bogle as expected hasn't travelled either.

    Are the rumours true about him out until Jan? If so I don’t know why we’ve not gone in for.l a RB asap. Good re Perri if true as it’ll be good for him to get some game time.

    I don't know mate lots of speculation on it. some say he will be fit for the opener some say much later and it's not good.
    Guess we will find out more today after the game as these should be the questions they should be asking Farke.
    He's generally good at telling things upfront on injuries but he needs to be asked them. not stupid questions like are you ready to go next week and are you confident of staying up as they pointless questions as Farke aint going to turn around and say no and no.

    8 of them were here last season and one of them couldn't even get a game for us in the championship.
    still lots of work to do me thinks.
