Vincenzo Montella has certainly sparked the Rossoneri into life this season, but the problems remain at the back after conceding six goals in the opening two games.

They scraped a 3-2 victory over Torino here in Week 1 thanks only to 17-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma’s last-gasp penalty save on Andrea Belotti.

Last week Donnarumma made history as the youngest ever senior Italy goalkeeper, playing the second half of a friendly with France.

Milan miss suspended Juraj Kucka and M’Baye Niang after the 4-2 defeat to Napoli, while Andrea Bertolacci, Mati Fernandez and Cristian Zapata are all sidelined.

Luca Antonelli beats Mattia De Sciglio to the left-back role, while summer signing Jose Sosa gets his first start in midfield.

Despite just returning from international duty in South America, Colombia international Carlos Bacca is started with Gianluca Lapadula on the bench.

Udinese were flattened 4-0 by Roma in their opening game and crashed out of the Coppa Italia too, but recovered to beat Empoli in the last round.

Cyril Thereau is back after a two-match ban, but Thomas Heurtaux, Samir and Marco Davide Faraoni are on the treatment table.

Belgium international Sven Kums gets his first Serie A start in midfield behind Rodrigo De Paul and Duvan Zapata.

Udinese have not beaten Milan at San Siro in Serie A since a 3-2 thriller in May 2007, managing just three draws and six defeats. There were two Coppa Italia victories here in 2010 and 2014.

Milan: Donnarumma; Abate, Paletta, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Poli, Montolivo, Sosa; Suso, Bacca, Bonaventura

Udinese: Karnezis; Widmer, Danilo, Felipe, Armero; Badu, Kums, Hallfredsson; Thereau, De Paul; Duvan Zapata
