The Rossoneri are decimated going into this clash, as Alessio Romagnoli, Andrea Conti, Mateo Musacchio, Leo Duarte and Samu Castillejo are out of action.

Theo Hernandez and Ismael Bennacer are suspended following cards in the 2-1 win away to Sassuolo.

Now the Corriere dello Sport suggests Kjaer will require a last-minute fitness test, as the Dane is also struggling with a muscular issue.

If he can’t start either, then Stefano Pioli will be without his entire first choice back four against the most prolific side in Serie A.

Should Kjaer also miss out, then Franck Kessie could be used at centre-back in an emergency situation, going back to a role he played in his very early years at Cesena.

As for Atalanta, Hans Hateboer is suspended and Josip Ilicic continues his separate training schedule to be ready for the Champions League quarter-final with PSG.

Papu Gomez and Duvan Zapata are likely to be joined by Ruslan Malinovskyi upfront, with supersub Luis Muriel ready to come on later.

Probable line-ups

Milan (4-2-3-1): G Donnarumma; Calabria, Gabbia, Kjaer, Laxalt; Kessie, Biglia; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Ibrahimovic

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Gollini; Toloi, Palomino, Djimsiti; Castagne, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez; Malinovskyi, Duvan Zapata
