Andriy Shevchenko returns to Milan as a coach while Napoli host Fiorentina at the Stadio Maradona in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. Check out the probable line-ups for today’s games.
Both matches are played on a one-leg basis.
We begin at 17.00 UK time in Naples where new signing Axel Tuanzebe is expected to start at centre-back.
The Partenopei must cope without Kalidou Koulibaly, Zambo Anguissa and Adam Ounas (AFCON). Piotr Zielinski and Mario Rui have COVID, Victor Osimhen and Lorenzo Insigne are injured.
New Fiorentina signing Krzysztof Piatek has travelled to Naples, but will likely start on the bench, while Bartlomiej Dragowski will play his first game in more than three months after returning from a muscle injury.
Napoli vs Fiorentina probable line-ups
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Tuanzebe, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus; Demme, Lobotka; Politano, Mertens, Elmas; Petagna.
Fiorentina (4-3-3): Dragowski; Venuti, Milenkovic, Nastasic, Biraghi; Bonaventura, Torreira, Duncan; Gonzalez, Vlahovic, Saponara.
Milan host Serie A strugglers Genoa at 20.00 UK time.
Stefano Pioli won’t rotate much as the Rossoneri still have many players out of action, although Fikayo Tomori returns to the starting XI after testing negative for COVID.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended, so Olivier Giroud will start up front.
Alessandro Plizzari, Pietro Pellegri, Samu Castillejo, Davide Calabria, Alessio Romagnoli and Simon Kjaer all unavailable.
Ante Rebic will start his first game in three months, same as Daniel Maldini.
There are reports Shevchenko could be sacked after the game or next week as Genoa only collected three points in nine Serie A games with the former striker in charge.
Probable line-ups:
Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Kalulu, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Saelemaekers, Maldini, Rebic; Giroud.
Genoa (3-5-2): Semper; Biraschi, Ostigard, Vasquez; Sabelli, Toure; Rovella, Portanova, Cassata; Caicedo, Yeboah.
