Milan’s outside hitters Filipe Pinto and Milan Bencz have respectively been called by the Portuguese and Slovakian national team to take part in the World Championships qualifications. While Filipe is already gone and will miss Sunday’s A2 game against Potenza Picena, Bencz will only leave on Monday. Still, they will miss the games against Cantù (December 26), Monza (December 29), and Ortona (January 5). The club is proud as these are the first international calls in history for Milan players.
