AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insists they can cope without the suspended Mario Balotelli.
Milan face Napoli tomorrow..
"We have no problems in attack," said Galliani. "Pazzini is not a reserve. And then we have El Shaarawy, Robinho and Bojan.
"We do not feel like second-best if we play Pazzini.
"The game is very important because we face a direct opponent. It is a key part of the season for everyone."
