Kessie doubt for Milan this evening

Franck Kessie is reportedly not 100 per cent fit and could be on the bench this evening when Milan host Empoli.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 GMT.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Ivory Coast international Kessie was due to start in the trequartista role behind striker Olivier Giroud.

However, Kessie has a slight muscular issue he felt during training yesterday and could therefore be rested to begin with.

Instead, Brahim Diaz would take his spot, retaining Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer in midfield.

Alessandro Florenzi should take over at left-back from suspended Theo Hernandez.
