Mattia De Sciglio hopes AC Milan's youngsters get their chance this season.

De Sciglio says that he and Milan teammate Stephan El Shaarawy are at the right club at the right time.

"Fortunately Stephan and I are around during this period where young players are being given a shot," the defender told Milan Channel.

"We are just trying to make the most of the opportunities that we are being handed."
