Anguissa is fit for Fiorentina, Spinazzola misses out
Allegri reverses his pre-match doubts over the Cameroon midfielder, but there is no recovery in time for the full-back, sidelined by a thigh strain picked up in training on Friday.
Allegri has named Frank Anguissa in his squad to face Fiorentina at the Franchi, with the midfielder back after the adductor strain that had already ruled him out against Arsenal and Bologna. Leonardo Spinazzola misses out instead: he picked up a strain in his right hamstring at Castel Volturno (Napoli's training ground) on Friday and does not travel to Tuscany.
The rest of the list keeps this month's pecking order. De Bruyne, Lang and Neres support Højlund, Lucca and Politano up front. Badiashile, Beukema, Rrahmani and Rafa Marín start in defence, with Di Lorenzo and Olivera on the flanks, Contini and Favasuli as alternatives, and Milinković-Savić in goal. With Anguissa back, Gilmour and Lobotka also get a place in midfield. Besides Spinazzola, the long-term absentees Meret, Buongiorno, Marianucci, McTominay, Alisson Santos and Giovane are all left out.
