Charles De Ketelaere is expected to start for Milan against Dinamo Zagreb, while Matteo Gabbia will replace the suspended Fikayo Tomori.

It kicks off at 20.00 UK time and it’s a must-win for the Rossoneri.

Both sides have four points after four games in Group E, RB Salzburg have collected six, and Chelsea have seven.

The Rossoneri will assess Brahim Diaz this morning, but the Spaniard is not expected to start anyway so De Ketelaere should regain his starting spot. The Belgium international seems to have beaten competition from Rade Krunic.

Alessandro Florenzi, Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Alexis Saelemaekers, Sergiño Dest and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are not injured. Tomori suspended.

Gabbia will replace the England international starting alongside Simon Kjaer. Sandro Tonali, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao return to the starting XI after resting against Monza.

Dinamo Zagreb can rely on full squad and haven’t lost at home since December 2021.

Coach Damir Krznar has only one doubt regarding the left flank, where Dario Spikic is favourite over Sadegh Moharrami.
