Milan talent Francesco Camarda is expected to be available for the first team in a Serie A match against Napoli on Tuesday as Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic continue to struggle with injuries.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that 16-year-old striker Camarda will likely be available for Milan’s first team on Tuesday when the Rossoneri will host leaders Napoli at the Stadio Meazza.
Camarda is part of the Milan Futuro squad this season, but he’s been added to the senior team when coach Paulo Fonseca needs him.

This will probably be the case next week as Abraham has yet to recover from a shoulder injury, while Jovic is still dealing with groin issues.
Both strikers were unavailable for Milan earlier this week when the Rossoneri beat Club Brugge 3-1 in the Champions League.
Camarda was introduced from the bench in the second half, becoming the youngest Champions League debutant. He even scored a goal, but VAR disallowed it for offside.
Milan will also be without Matteo Gabbia against Napoli. The Italian defender sustained a calf injury during a Sunday training session.
