"Last weekend, AC Milan named a full-strength team against Sassuolo and they will do so again against Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana. There were a few questions asked when Massimiliano Allegri opted to stick with the starters for the game against the Neroverdi. However, it may have been a test of their character to play two important games in a few days."
"Milan's predicted XI for Napoli Mike Maignan remains in the net, whilst Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori keep their places in the backline. Due to Matteo Gabbia's injury, though, the Italian has not travelled and he will be replaced by Koni De Winter, as MilanNews reports. The midfield will remain unchanged, so Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi will flank the trio of Adrien Rabiot, Luka Modric and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. It is worth noting that Youssouf Fofana has recovered now, too, so he could feature."
AC Milan will field a near full-strength starting XI against Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana, repeating the selection used against Sassuolo. Massimiliano Allegri kept starters for the Sassuolo match, a choice that may have tested squad character by forcing two important games within days. Mike Maignan starts in goal with Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori in central defence; Matteo Gabbia is injured and replaced by Koni De Winter. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi will flank Adrien Rabiot, Luka Modric and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in midfield. Youssouf Fofana has recovered. Rafael Leao is sidelined, so Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic lead the attack.
