Montella confirms Federico Chiesa and Nikola Milenkovic will play against Benfica

Nikola Milenkovic has been linked with Manchester United

Federico Chiesa and Nikola Milenkovic have been continuously linked with top clubs such as Manchester United. Both players impressed last season, despite Fiorentina having barely avoided relegation. Many doubt that the Italian club can keep their star players following the club's poor Serie A run.

Chiesa did not feature in Viola's friendly match against Arsenal. Milenkovic, on the other hand, did not start the game but came in as a substitute. However, Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella revealed that both players would play in the club's next preseason game due to a contractual obligation.

“I discovered that Chiesa is contractually obligated to play at least 30 minutes and so is Milenkovic, so they’re going to have to play against Benfica", the Italian said.

“Chiesa didn’t seem particularly irritated or sad to me. The lads are working well, they are at our disposal, and some are playing out of position during an emergency situation," Montella said.
