Francisco Conceiçao is expected to start on the Juventus bench against Milan, coached by his father, Sergio, who is expected to change the Rossoneri’s system to a 4-3-3 in his first game in charge.
It’s the second Supercoppa semifinal after Inter’s 2-0 win over Atalanta on Thursday. It kicks off at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT) at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Bianconeri are without Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik, while Arthur and Danilo are no longer part of the project and have not travelled to Saudi Arabia with the rest of the team.
