Dele tooAlthough out of the entire first XI Ben Davies may be the only one available with the others all likely to play at the World Cup.
Late July trips against AC Milan in Minneapolis and Dortmund in Pittsburgh. Probably a third date/opponent yet to be revealed.

I think it's 21 days in general, and in any case I doubt we'd bring someone into matches straight away with zero training. I'd be inclined to say that anyone featuring in the Last 16 is unlikely to make the ICC. We'll have a decent team no doubt, but not too many from the first XI itself.World Cup Timetable :
Group games - 15th to 28th June
Last 16 games - 30 June to 3 July
Q/F games - 6th and 7th July
S/F games - 10th and 11th July
Final & 3rd place - 14th and 15th July
Add on 14 days holiday break for the players and any player whose country loses in the quarter finals or before can make the games - so its only those players from the top 4 countries squads who might not make the games in late July (say 25th July onward).
So I'd guess we will have at least a dozen first team squad players available for the first game in the International Champions Tournament - Davies, Lucas, Winks and Lamela unlikely to be at the World Cup to start with - and if England (5 players) and/or Belgium (3 players) do not make the last 4 it will definitely be more plus the likes of Walker-Peters, Onomah, Carter-Vickers and even Jannsen and N'Koudou if we need them.

Twitter rumours of Barcelona in LA being the third
I used to really enjoy summer pre-season games... we'd have half the stadium and no stress (except for Millwall away...).These games are such utter bollocks. Bring back proper friendlies that our core support can actually go to like Vitesse Arnham away and that tournament in Holland.
