Team news

The Rossoneri see Fikayo Tomori return but Stefano Pioli must cope without Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi and Ismael Bennacer while Sergino Dest and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have not been included in their Champions League list.

Alexis Saelemaekers is favourite over Davide Calabria on the right, while Malick Thiaw should start over Simon Kjaer in central defence.

Tottenham are without the injured Hugo Lloris, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegon while Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is suspended.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has faced Milan 14 times as a coach, winning 10 and losing just once.

Milan have only won two games across all competitions in 2023, but Tottenham travel to San Siro on the back of a 4-1 loss against Leicester City in the Premier League.

Neither Spurs are at their best and former Italy striker Paolo Di Canio believes Milan can cause trouble for Conte’s men by putting in many crosses inside the box. The ex-Rossoneri striker said Theo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud can be two key players in tonight’s fixture.
