Massimo Oddo is unlikely to start for Milan when they face Napoli in the San Paolo on Wednesday night, according to reports.

Milannews.it claims that the right-back has suffered an injury at the last minute and will probably not take his place in the Rossoneri defence.

Ignazio Abate is expected to fill the void for the former Bayern Munich man.

Though Abate is more comfortable playing on the right hand side of midfield, he has deputised at right-back on a number of occasions.

Leonardo could also use Mathieu Flamini alongside Alessandro Nesta, Thiago Silva and Gianluca Zambrotta in defence.

Having beaten Roma, Real Madrid and Chievo Verona in the last ten days, the Rossoneri will be looking to extend their winning run when they kick off against the Partenopei at 20:45 CET.
