FIFA Club World Cup: AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri revealed Luka Modric will join the side in August which is why he has been left out of the squad that has traveled to Singapore for their first pre-season friendly.

Modric joined the Serie A side after playing a part in Real Madrid's road to the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup and hence was left out of the squad for their pre-season tour which travels to Hong Kong and Perth, after facing Arsenal on July 23, to take on Liverpool and Perth Glory respectively.

"We expect him to join us in August. He's a top player who will add technical brilliance and leadership to the squad,” said Allegri in the pre-game press conference.
