The Rossoneri must cope without the suspended Filippo Terracciano and the injured Alexis Saelemaekers, Matteo Gabbia, Samuel Chukwueze and Gonçalo Ramos. The latter suffered a calf injury during the final training session on Wednesday, the eve of the game, and, according to several sources, 20-year-old Italian striker Cisse will replace him.

Cisse turns 20 today and is currently Milan’s best scorer with five goals in seven appearances across all competitions. He scored a hat-trick in the Rossoneri’s latest Serie A match against RB Salzburg last week.

Sky Sport and Gazzetta claim that Mario Gila will rest tonight, making room for Fikayo Tomori. Pervis Estupinan is the favourite over Davide Bartesaghi at left-back, while both Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modric are expected to start on the bench, making room for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ardon Jashari and Yunus Musah in the Rossoneri’s three-man midfield.
