Yahoo Sports Supercoppa: Inter vs. Milan – Probable line-ups and where to watch
Both Inter and Milan will have to do without some of their star players for Monday evening’s Supercoppa Italiana final in Riyadh.
Simone Inzaghi will have to name a starting line-up without leading goalscorer Marcus Thuram, who trained individually on Monday following his substitution at half-time of the 2-0 win over Atalanta in the semi-final.
Joaquin Correa had been tipped to start in Thuram’s absence, but he was also absent from the first-team group training over the weekend, which leaves Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi as the expected centre-forwards.
Aside from the strikers, Inzaghi is expected to name the same team as the one from the Atalanta semi-final.
Milan, meanwhile, are still expected to be without Rafael Leao. Mattia Gabbia will not be involved due to illness, which probably means another start together for Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw at centre-back.
Sergio Conceicao reportedly tested two possible starting line-ups during his training session on Sunday, one in a 4-2-3-1, and another in a 4-4-2. Sky Sport Italia predict that the Rossoneri are most likely to stick with the 4-2-3-1 shape that worked out well in the end during the 2-1 win over Juventus in the semi-final on Friday night.
Kick-off in the Supercoppa Italiana final is due at 19.00 GMT.
