AC Milan play their first official pre-season friendly of the summer against Celtic and finish with a 2-2 draw. The match starts with Milan competing against their Scottish opponents, with both sides finding the net to level the score. However, the main focus shifts to Milan’s new defender Mario Gila after he is forced off early in the game. According to reports, Gila withdraws from the match just 22 minutes after coming on, with concern that the situation could affect his availability for upcoming preseason preparations. The outlets covering the friendly both note the withdrawal timing and frame it as a potential injury issue, prompting fears within the club. Despite the result and the equal scoreline, Milan’s immediate concern is how Gila’s early exit impacts his fitness and whether further assessment is needed. The match remains a useful preseason test for Milan, but the early substitution of a new signing becomes the key storyline heading into subsequent friendlies.
