As reported by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Ante Rebic will start from the bench tonight in the Champions League match against Chelsea and could be used in the second half as an impact substitute just as he was in the reverse fixture last week at Stamford Bridge.

However, on Sunday in the league match away against Hellas Verona he could get his first start since he was forced to miss a few games due to a muscle injury. The Croatian could be deployed at the Bentegodi as the centre-forward, thus giving Olivier Giroud some time to breathe.

He can of course offer rest to Rafael Leao too given he is able to play on the left, and with Divock Origi also back there are finally some options to call upon.
