Napoli forward Adam Ounas was robbed by two thieves outside his home just an hour before leaving for the Milan match.
It kicks off on Sunday at San Siro at 19.45 GMT.
After this morning’s training session, Ounas went back home in Posillipo to get some things ready ahead of the trip to Milan.
According to Corriere.it, there were two thieves waiting for Ounas on a scooter and chased him into his garage.
They immobilised the player and forced him to hand over cash and jewellery, including a gold chain that was worth a reported €5,000.
Algeria international Ounas is nonetheless in the Napoli squad travelling to Milan for the big match tomorrow evening.
It is the second incident in the last 48 hours, as former Udinese star and current Carrarese coach Antonio Di Natale was robbed at gunpoint in his own house in Empoli by a gang of at least five masked men.

May almighty allah protect you and other players
This is a shame on Italy. Athletes being robbed. My last post got deleted. I guess because I spoke the truth of who should put an end to this. Maybe the police will care enough to work with the leaders to end this stain.
