Brazilian Ronaldinho and star Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo are among four top AC Milan players who will not make the trip to suburban Detroit for a friendly against Greek outfit Panathinaikos on Friday.
Ronaldinho suffered a strained left hamstring last week, prompting the Italian side to leave the 2004 and 2005 FIFA Player of the Year at home to recover.
Remaining in their homeland were forward Filippo Inzaghi and midfielder Massimo Ambrosini.
US defender Oguchi Onyewu, a standout for the Americans at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, will be on the field for AC Milan.
