Gasperini is still weighing player availability for the Maradona clash, with Manu Koné, Evan Ferguson, Stephan El Shaarawy and Artem Dovbyk out. Robinio Vaz returns, but Matías Soulé and Paulo Dybala are still doubtful after a tough week.
If Soulé starts, Bryan Zaragoza will be on the bench; Dybala’s fitness will determine the second attacking midfield spot. The expected 3‑4‑2‑1 features Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Ghilardi, Çelik, Cristante, Pisilli, Wesley, Soulé, Pellegrini and Malen.
