As a result of the postponed game against Bologna, all eyes are now on the big clash between Milan-Napoli, scheduled for Tuesday evening. Below are today’s headlines in the papers.
It has indeed been a quiet weekend for Milan, following the Bologna debacle, and Paulo Fonseca’s men are now preparing for the game against Napoli. Seeing as the Partenopei have done very well at the start of this season, it’s a game that the Rossoneri must win.
With Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders suspended, though, this will be far from easy and the manager will have to come up with some good solutions. In today’s newspapers, more specifically in Gazzetta dello Sport, the midfield was brought up.

😬 “Lecce beaten 1-0, Napoli +5 at the top of the standings. Now it’s time for the big test: Milan on Tuesday.”
Gazzetta dello Sport focus on Leao
⌛ “The comeback of Leao. Rafa is chasing a starting spot and he has two days to get it.”
📈 “Okafor is in better form and Fonseca would have chosen him against Bologna.”
Gazzetta dello Sport focus on Napoli game
💪 “Fonseca shows his muscles to Conte. Musah and Loftus-Cheek are candidates.”
👀 “Against Napoli, he could field a more physical side. The midfield duo to start together?”
Tuttosport front page
⚡ “Njie: flashes of Leao and the no to Milan.”
👀 “The Rossoneri wanted him for the Futuro, but were rejected.”
Tuesday’s the first real test for ADL’s highly principled and honorable club. All they care about is good sportsmanship and winning fairly and squarely on the pitch and so I’m sure there’ll be no more funny business after helping get the Bologna game canceled 👌
