AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named the starting line-up he has chosen for the first leg against AS Roma, and there are three changes from the team that beat Lecce.
There are some absences in defence for Pioli given that Fikayo Tomori is suspended after picking up a yellow card in the return leg against Slavia Praha, Pierre Kalulu is injured for a while longer yet and Jan-Carlo Simic is not in the squad list.
Pioli has opted for a four-man defence of Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez in front of the goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
In midfield it will be Ismael Bennacer and Tijjani Reijnders reunited as the double pivot, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek operating ahead of them in the attacking midfielder position.
Christian Pulisic will be the right winger, Rafael Leao will be on the opposite flank and Olivier Giroud is the centre-forward.
The likes of Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli, Samuel Chukwueze, Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor are all available to lend a hand off the bench, too.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Gabbia, Theo; Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud.
Bench: Sportiello, Nava, Adli, Jovic, Okafor, Chukwueze, Kjaer, Terracciano, Florenzi, Musah, Zeroli, Bartesaghi.
