Milan in Saudi Arabia: Leao, Fofana travel, Gabbia, Gimenez stay | OneFootball

Milan is ready to depart from Malpensa to Riyadh, where they will compete in the Italian Super Cup. The semifinal against Napoli is scheduled for Thursday, December 18, while the possible final will be played on December 22 against the winner of Bologna-Inter.

Milan in Saudi Arabia: Leao and Fofana okay, Gabbia and Gimenez remain in Milan

Massimiliano Allegri can smile: two key players in his tactical lineup, Rafael Leao and Youssouf Fofana, will travel with the team to Saudi Arabia. Neither is yet at 100%, but their improving condition gives hope for their involvement, at least for the final, if not already for the semifinal.

Matteo Gabbia and Santiago Gimenez will remain in Milan. The defender is continuing his recovery from the muscle problem suffered against Sassuolo, while the striker is still undecided between surgery and conservative therapy for an ankle issue.

The squad list for the trip includes: goalkeepers Maignan, Terracciano, and Pittarella; defenders Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic, Odogu, Dutu, and Vladimirov; midfielders Saelemaekers, Athekame, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Jashari, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi, Estupinan, and Sala; and finally, forwards Leao, Pulisic, Nkunku, Ibrahimovic, and Borsani.

Milan flies to Saudi Arabia with the goal of winning the trophy, buoyed by the return of its two key players, but will have to contend with the absence of Gabbia and Gimenez.
