Milan have included 18-year-old defender Vladimirov in their first-team squad for Thursday’s Europa League away match against AFC Bournemouth.

The Milan Primavera centre-back, who was born in 2006, has been promoted to the senior side for the fixture under Amorim. The Bulgarian was also named on the bench for last Sunday’s league match against Atalanta.

Milan completed their final preparations at Milanello in heavy rain before travelling for the match, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
