As the Black-and-Red prepare to depart Washington for this weekend's match in Houston, there is palpable excitement around RFK Stadium ahead of next Wednesday's highly anticipated international friendly. AC Milan, the Italian giants from Serie A are coming to play D.C. United on May 26 at 8:00 p.m. Today the Rossoneri finalized their roster plans, and details surrounding the club's training schedule have just been released.

Joining Brazilian superstars Ronaldinho and Pato are several players that were loaned to various Serie A clubs throughout the 2009-2010 season. Cristian Brocchi has been recalled from Lazio, along with Claudio Terzi (Siena), Manuele Blasi (Napoli), Gennaro Delvecchio (Catania), and Roberto Colombo (Bologna). These players will join an already formidable list, alongside the likes of Dutch midfield sensation Clarence Seedorf, defenders Alessandro Nest and Massimo Oddo, and former Arsenal speedster Mathieu Flamini. 

Italian talisman Filippo Inzaghi will captain his side against United. Interim manager Mauro Tassotti will coach Milan during the friendly, replacing the recently departed Leonardo. Tassotti was Leonardo's top assistant, and he held the same position under current Chelsea manager Carlo Acelotti during his time with the Rossoneri.

Milan are scheduled to train at RFK Stadium on Monday, May 24 at 11:00 a.m., but that session is closed to the public. However, on Tuesday May 25 Ronaldinho and company will train on the stadium pitch at 6:00 p.m., with the entire session open to the public. United will train before their Italian counterparts at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, and the Black-and-Red are also accessible to the public.
