Leeds United wrap up their pre-season campaign this weekend with a glamour tie against Italian heavyweights AC Milan in Dublin — their final test before the real action begins.
It’s been a solid summer under Daniel Farke, with the Whites showing encouraging signs despite a gloomy relegation forecast from Opta. Leeds are unbeaten across four friendlies so far, earning respectable draws against Manchester United and Villarreal, and notching wins over Verl and Paderborn during their German tour.
While Farke is still craving more cutting edge in the final third, the transfer window has brought some much-needed reinforcements between the sticks, in defence, and across midfield. With their Premier League opener against Everton fast approaching, this clash with Milan will offer one last chance to fine-tune and build momentum.

Leeds team news
Leeds head into their upcoming match with a few injury clouds looming. New goalkeeper Lucas Perri is nursing a minor knock, and while Farke remains optimistic about his involvement, there's a real chance he could miss the Premier League curtain-raiser.
Meanwhile, Farke's keeping a close eye on Jayden Bogle, who's sidelined due to a muscle strain, and Sebastiaan Bornauw continues to be out of action. On a brighter note, Dan James and Jack Harrison are poised to return after sitting out the Villarreal clash.
AC Milan team news
Over at AC Milan, after bidding farewell to Reijnders and Hernandez, the spotlight turns to Rafael Leao. Despite ongoing transfer rumors swirling around the Rossoneri’s talisman, he's still donning the red and black and even featured against Arsenal. The Serie A giants have splashed the cash to bolster their midfield, welcoming young Samuele Ricci alongside the seasoned Luka Modric, fresh off a decade with Real Madrid.
Milan's injury list from last season is practically clear—just Santiago Gimenez remains a bit iffy due to his Gold Cup duties. But with the departures of Luka Jovic, Tammy Abraham, and Francesco Camarda, their front line looked a little bare of late.
Christian Pulisic may be sidelined for AC Milan's final two tune-ups of the summer after picking up a slight ankle knock in their friendly against Liverpool. The U.S. international was left out of the squad entirely as Milan cruised to a 9-0 rout over Perth Glory, raising doubts about his availability for the upcoming fixtures.
