Milan are missing several key players, including Christian Pulisic, and are again without Rafael Leao, leaving Alvaro Morata and Samuel Chukwueze to face Romelu Lukaku, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Scott McTominay’s Napoli.

It starts at 7.45pm GMT in San Siro.

You can follow all the build-up and action from this game, Cagliari-Bologna and Lecce-Verona, on the live blog.

As the Rossoneri had to postpone Saturday’s game against Bologna due to severe weather warnings, the suspensions of Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders remain in place for that game instead.

The injured Matteo Gabbia, Tammy Abraham, Luka Jovic, Alessandro Florenzi and Ismael Bennacer are also missing.

The latest news is that Pulisic is suffering from flu symptoms and is not ready to play, requiring a complete reshuffle.

Despite all this, Rafael Leao is once again dropped in favor of Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes in to support Morata.

This means Yunus Musah will fill in at midfield two instead.

Napoli extended their lead at the top of the table after Inter’s thrilling 4-4 ​​draw with Juventus and the only absentee remains Stanislav Lobotka, who was replaced by Billy Gilmour.

McTominay, Matteo Politano and Kvaratskhelia continue to support Lukaku, while Leonardo Spinazzola has overcome his flu symptoms and secured a place on the bench.

Cyril Ngonge and David Neres return to the sidelines after the squad rotation against Lecce.

Conte’s men have won seven of their last eight Serie A games, scoring 16 goals and conceding two.

However, Napoli have not beaten Milan since a 2-1 win here in September 2022, followed by two draws and three defeats in all competitions.

This also included the Champions League quarter-finals in April 2023.
