Allegri explains decision to bench Bartesaghi and Modric against Napoli: "Renewed energy"
"Jashari is playing, having done very well in Coppa Italia. Bartesaghi has a flexor muscle which wasn't feeling great the other day, and Estupinan has done well. We needed some renewed physical and mental energy."
"Milan's mercato is focused on fully recovering all available players. Gimenez underwent this minor operation; we haven't yet been given his recovery time. We hope to reach the final tonight. That would be great, otherwise we'll focus on the league."
"He has extraordinary technique, he works for the team, he's fitting in. I have full faith in him, as we all do."
"I don't know anything yet. I hope it's a precedent for the future of Italian football, and I hope it's not just an isolated case. Otherwise, it would be a problem."
Milan must beat Napoli to secure a place in the Supercoppa Italiana final, with strong fan support expected in Saudi Arabia. Several players are unavailable through injury, including Matteo Gabbia and Rafael Leao, and Davide Bartesaghi is on the bench because of a flexor muscle concern. Ardon Jashari starts in a deeper midfield role while Estupinan replaces Bartesaghi. Gimenez underwent a minor operation and his recovery timeline remains unknown. The squad focus is on recovering all available players and, if the final is missed, shifting full attention back to the league campaign. Nkunku is integrating well and contributing technically to the team.
