Milan v Napoli, official line-ups: Conte starts Marianucci from kick-off | OneFootball

Spotlights on at San Siro for Milan-Napoli, the match that closes our Serie A Sunday. Antonio Conte, with the team decimated by injuries, decides to start Luca Marianucci from the first minute, allowing Sam Beukema to rest ahead of the Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon.

Milan-Napoli, official match line-ups: choices on Beukema and Pulisic

With the match at Milan's home, valid for the fifth game of the 2025/2026 Serie A championship, Napoli could send a very clear message to the league. With a team decimated by injuries, defeating the devil on their own turf would mean making a strong statement in the league and maintaining a safe distance from all the chasers.

For such an important match, Antonio Conte will not have Rrahmani and Buongiorno available, the two defensive certainties on which the blue team relies. In goal, however, Alex Meret is confirmed, once again winning the competition with the very capable Vanja Milinkovic-Saviv. For Milan, as easily anticipated, Rafael Leao will not start from the first minute, as he has just returned from an injury. Santiago Gimenez is still there, clearly confident after the goal against Lecce in the Coppa Italia.
