Pre-season: Leeds vs. Milan confirmed line-ups – First Jashari start, Gnonto chance | OneFootball

Milan and Leeds United have confirmed their line-ups for Saturday’s pre-season friendly in the Republic of Ireland, which brings a first start for new signing Ardon Jashari, and an opportunity for Italy international Wilfried Gnonto in the opposition side.

Milan and Leeds are playing each other on neutral turf at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday afternoon. The Rossoneri will then travel over to the UK for a friendly against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

There will be a first new start for Jashari immediately after his €37m transfer from Club Brugge, which was announced earlier this week.

There is also a starting opportunity for 21-year-old Italy forward Gnonto in Daniel Farke’s starting XI.
