AC Milan vs. Napoli: Official Line-ups for Serie A Week 5
In a pivotal Serie A Week 5 match, AC Milan faced Napoli at San Siro Stadium. The game concluded with a 2-1 victory for Milan. This encounter was seen as a potential early Scudetto battle between two strong contenders.
Team Status and Key Players:
AC Milan welcomed Rafael Leao back to the bench for the first time in Serie A this season, following his muscular injury sustained in the Coppa Italia in August. Christian Pulisic, Santiago Gimenez, Adrien Rabiot, and Luka Modric all started, forming an experienced midfield. Mike Maignan also recovered, leaving Ardon Jashari as the sole player on the treatment table. Midweek, Milan decisively beat 10-man Lecce 3-0 in the Coppa Italia.
Napoli, on the other hand, was severely depleted by injuries, with Romelu Lukaku, Leonardo Spinazzola, Mathias Olivera, Alessandro Buongiorno, and Amir Rrahmani all unavailable. This forced significant changes to their lineup, including season debuts for Miguel Gutierrez, who joined from Girona for €18m, and Luca Marianucci. Upfront, Napoli relied on Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay, and Rasmus Hojlund. Despite their injury woes, Napoli held a 100% record in Serie A this season but had recently lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the Champions League after an early red card for Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
