Paulo Fonseca is expected to go full strength when Milan host a depleted Juventus side in Serie A on Saturday evening.
Pre-match reports suggest there are some concerns in the Milan camp surrounding the sharpness of Christian Pulisic, who has not had a full week of training after a long trip back from the United States, but Rafael Leao and Samuel Chukwueze are practically guaranteed to start behind Alvaro Morata up front.
Luka Jovic is unavailable, so Fonseca will call up 16-year-old Francesco Camarda to the matchday squad.
Juventus, meanwhile, are without leading goalscorer Dusan Vlahovic after a minor knock during the international break, which means Timothy Weah should start up front in his father’s old stomping ground.
Thiago Motta will also have to do without Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, plus the long-term absentees Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Vasilije Adzic.
Only 18 players have been called up to the travelling Juventus squad, including three goalkeepers, which means there won’t be too many options for the Bianconeri coach to play with from the bench.
Kick-off is due at 17.00 GMT.
