There will be up to 1,000 people at San Siro this evening after the lockdown measures were eased and Milan invited local healthcare workers as a thank you for their tireless efforts during the pandemic.
The Rossoneri already begun their season by beating Shamrock Rovers 2-0 on Thursday, but Rebic was suspended for that competition, so he returns to the starting XI tonight with Calhanoglu, Ibrahimovic and Samu Castillejo.
Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacchio and Andrea Conti are still injured, while Rafael Leao only returned to training today after his COVID-induced quarantine.
Bologna had Coronavirus issues too, as coach Sinisa Mihajlovic missed some of pre-season after he tested positive, but has fortunately fully recovered from last year’s leukaemia and is no longer immuno-depressed.
Gary Medel sits out a ban, but new signing Lorenzo De Silvestri starts at right-back with Takehiro Tomiyasu moved into the centre of defence.
Riccardo Orsolini, Roberto Soriano and Barrow fan out behind veteran Rodrigo Palacio.
Nico Dominguez is preferred to ex-Milan midfielder Andrea Poli.
Milan have lost their last two season openers, against Udinese and Napoli, but have never in their history made that three years in a row.
The last time these sides met at San Siro, the Rossoneri ran out 5-1 winners.
Milan: G Donnarumma, Calabria, Gabbia, Kjaer, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessie; Castillejo, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Ibrahimovic
Bologna: Skorupski; De Silvestri, Tomiyasu, Danilo, Dijks; Schouten, Dominguez; Orsolini, Soriano, Barrow; Palacio
