Sassuolo

The race for the Serie A title and Champions League qualification spots took another dramatic turn this weekend, as AC Milan and Napoli faced unexpected obstacles in their respective matches. At the Mapei Stadium, Milan found themselves in a precarious situation early on, with Sassuolo racing to a 2-0 lead within the first 10 minutes. Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté stunned the Rossoneri with their quick-fire strikes, leaving the visitors reeling.

In a crucial Serie A clash, AC Milan will field a heavily rotated starting XI as they travel to face the struggling Sassuolo side at the Mapei Stadium. With their focus divided between league commitments and the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Roma next week, Milan’s manager has opted to rest several key players. The most notable absentees from Milan’s lineup are goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who is sidelined due to a muscular issue, and defenders Tommaso Pobega and Pierre Kalulu, who are both nursing injuries.
