Olivier Giroud is expected to start in the Milan attack against Tottenham tonight, while Rade Krunic will replace Ismael Bennacer in the middle of the park.

It kicks off at 20.00 GMT at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It’s the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. The Rossoneri beat Antonio Conte’s side 1-0 in the first leg in Milan on February 14.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Aster Vranckx, Yachine Adli, Sergino Dest and Tiemoue Bakayoko are not in Mila’s Champions League list and the same is true of Ciprian Tatarusanu who was replaced by Mike Maignan earlier this week.

Both Brahim and Giroud are available and expected to start after training with the rest of the team on Tuesday.

Krunic and Rafael Leao will also feature in the starting XI after serving a one-match ban in the last Serie A game against Fiorentina. Bennacer is available but should rest after starting against Fiorentina on Saturday.

Former Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is not available for Tottenham and the same is true of Hugo Lloris, Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegnon.
