Rossoneri Round-up for 30 August: Diego Laxalt gets a Uruguay call up for Mexico friendly

Diego Laxalt has been called up for the Uruguay national team for the friendly against Mexico.

And US-based Milan fans, the match will be played in Houston, so if you’re wanting to see a Milan player up and close, here’s your chance. Plus it will be televised as well.
