AC Milan and Napoli are set for a pivotal Serie A showdown this Sunday at the iconic San Siro, with both sides eager to assert their title ambitions early in the campaign.
Since a setback against Cremonese on matchday one, Max Allegri’s side has demonstrated solid defensive progress. The team boasts three successive league wins, including solid victories over Lecce (2-0), Bologna (1-0), and Udinese (3-0). Additionally, they cruised to a 3-0 triumph over Lecce in the Coppa Italia in midweek.
AC Milan team news
AC Milan have gained a significant lift ahead of the match, as Rafael Leão has resumed full training and is anticipated to be fit for selection. The dynamic winger has been sidelined since the opening fixture due to a calf injury but is now poised to make his Serie A return against Napoli. Meanwhile, the Rossoneri face the long-term absence of Ardon Jashari, who sustained an injury in training that will keep him out for roughly eight weeks.
Allegri has highlighted the outstanding contributions of Adrien Rabiot, describing him as “fierce, determined, and decisive,” and suggesting he looks “even stronger than during his Juventus days.” Rabiot’s presence has been key to Milan’s defensive resilience, helping the team keep five clean sheets in six appearances this season.
AC Milan predicted lineup
Possible AC Milan starting XI: Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Nkunku
When does the match kick off?
The game will begin at 7:45pm BST on Sunday, 28th September.
