Milan striker Ante Rebic is likely to start as a right winger against RB Salzburg tonight, while Rade Krunic is favourite over Brahim Diaz and Charles De Ketelaere.

It kicks off at 20.00 UK time.

The Serie A champions could qualify for the Champions League Round of 16 for the first time since 2013.

They are without the injured Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mike Maignan.

Brahim and De Ketelaere are available, but Krunic is expected to start as an attacking midfielder behind the sole striker Olivier Giroud.

Fikayo Tomori returns after serving a one-match ban against Dinamo Zagreb and will partner Simon Kjaer in central defence.

A draw is enough for Milan to qualify for the knock-out phase, having a one-point lead over the Austrian club in Group E.

Fodé Ballo-Touré and Rade Krunic are on a yellow card, so they will miss the next European fixture if they are booked tonight.

3 thought on “Champions League, Milan vs. RB Salzburg – probable line-ups”
  1. Never mind Rebic at RW, why is Krunic starting when both Diaz and De Ketelaere are available?

    I like Krunic but he’s a squad player.

  2. Play with De Ketaleare give him play time, the more he plays the better he gets, play with Diaz as RW.
