Alessio Romagnoli was decisive against Genoa, and is the first Milan player to score for both teams since Thiago Silva in November 2009.

The captain was unfortunate to see Cristian Kouame’s shot ricochet off him and loop over Gianluigi Donnarumma, cancelling out a Suso opener.

However, he made up for it deep into stoppages with the winning goal.

Ionut Radu’s wayward punch fell to the edge of the box, where Romagnoli was alert for an acrobatic volley into the empty net.

Milan are monitoring Sao Paulo centre-back Rodrigo Caio after Mattia Caldara’s setback, according to reports.

Caldara joined the Rossoneri from Juventus this summer, arriving as part of a swap deal with Leonardo Bonucci.

However, he has managed just one appearance so far and it was reported this morning he faces three months out with a torn calf muscle.

Thomas Tuchel believes Edinson Cavani and Marco Verratti can prove decisive for Paris Saint-Germain in a “special game” with Napoli, while the Coach was “inspired” by Carlo Ancelotti.

It kicks off on Wednesday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

Thiago Silva is out injured, with Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti back in the squad, but inevitably the focus will be on former Napoli star Cavani.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva is expected to miss the Champions League game with Napoli tomorrow night.

The Partenopei will fly out to France today for tomorrow’s match at the Parc des Prince, with Carlo Ancelotti facing his old side and Edinson Cavan reuniting with his former team.

Former Milan centre-back Silva is likely to be absent though, with Le Parisien reporting that he didn’t train today due to a hamstring injury.

The Brazilian missed the win over Amiens at the weekend, and hasn’t trained since Friday.

Paris Saint-Germain Coach Thomas Tuchel and defender Thiago Silva expect a “red-hot atmosphere” against Napoli, Liverpool and Crvena Zvezda.

The Champions League draw put PSG in the same group as Napoli, Liverpool and Red Star Belgrade.

“There will be a lot of passion around our matches in this group,” Tuchel told the official club website.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva ‘believes’ in the new-look Milan and ‘will support the Rossoneri from afar’.

Silva was part of the last Milan squad to win the Scudetto in 2011 and was widely considered to have been sold to PSG against his will.

“I believe in this Milan. Milan needed them,” the 33-year-old told Gazzetta TV, referring to the returns of Leonardo and Paolo Maldini in non-playing roles.

“Milan can do well, Gattuso’s very good. I’ll support the Rossoneri from afar.”

Inter defender Joao Miranda credits Italian football with Brazil’s newfound solidity. “We learned a lot from Serie A about defending.”

The Selecao have swept through to the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and will face Dries Mertens’ Belgium on Friday July 6.

Wearing the captain’s armband against Serbia, Inter man Joao Miranda is a rock in Brazil’s defence, writes Daryl Hammond.

The centre-back had previous failed attempts at European club football when young, but found his confidence at Atletico Madrid and went from strength to strength at Inter.

Brazil have always struggled at the back and the 7-1 World Cup defeat on home soil hammered home the need to change that.

Miranda went from stand-by player to key figure in Tite's back line.

Massimiliano Mirabelli believes Andre Silva ‘will become one of the best in the world’ as the Milan striker ‘needs time to adjust to Serie A’.

Silva scored just two League goals for Milan last season, prompting reports that he could leave only a year into his €38m transfer from Porto, but Mirabelli appeared to confirm the Rossoneri would persist with the Portuguese. 

Thiago Silva admits he could not say ‘no’ to a second spell with Milan as ‘ending my career there would be beautiful’.

Silva made over 100 appearances for Milan between 2009 and 2012, winning a Scudetto with the Rossoneri, but their need to raise funds saw the defender follow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain for €42m.

Nonetheless, he told Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan are in my heart and will be forever, how could I say ‘no’ to them?”
