CONFIRMED lineups for Inter v Milan Super Cup final

Despite being held in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, the Italian Super Cup final has Milan written all over it as Inter and AC Milan take on each other tonight at the Al-Awwal Park. The Derby final comes after Atalanta and Juventus were both knocked out in the semi-finals last week as the 'Nerazzurri' have the opportunity to claim the trophy for a fourth consecutive time. 

Simone Inzaghi's men are masters when it comes to domestic knockout matches and have already beaten their local rivals in a Super Cup final in 2023, with the results reading 0-3 for the defending champions. That said, the 'Rossoneri' were able to break the curse against Inter in the latest encounter between the two sides, as Gabbia's last-gasp goal gave Milan a 1-2 victory in September. 

New manager Conceicao sees Rafael Leao, who was sidelined due to injury, back on the bench tonight, making Mattia Gabbia (illness) the only absentee from Milan's end. As for Inter, Marcus Thuram is still not fit to start from kick-off following a slight elongation of the adductors in his left thigh. The Frenchman, who trained separately on Sunday alongside Joaquin Correa, is forced to settle for the bench.
