The Rossoneri lost their 27-round unbeaten Serie A run with a 3-1 home defeat to Juventus, but remain top of the table thanks to Inter also falling against Sampdoria.

However, weeks of injuries have taken their toll, with Ismael Bennacer, Alexis Saelemaekers and Matteo Gabbia out.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a surprise inclusion in the squad for this evening, although he might only be able to play 10 minutes.

Hakan Calhanoglu is also on the bench, even though a sprain makes it very unlikely he’ll feature.

Ante Rebic and Rade Krunic have COVID-19, but Sandro Tonali returns from his ban to provide a midfield option, allowing Davide Calabria to return to his usual right-back role.

Samu Castillejo, Brahim Diaz and Hauge fan out behind Rafael Leao in a completely revamped line-up.

Torino coach Marco Giampaolo has resisted calls for his dismissal so far this season, having been sacked 14 months ago by Milan.

After a simply disastrous start, the Granata are starting to get into gear, as they are unbeaten in four, including draws with Napoli and Verona, while flattening Parma 3-0.

There is practically a full squad to choose from and Simone Verdi is chosen to support hitman Andrea Belotti.

Ricardo Rodriguez returns to face his former squad, sending Cristian Ansaldi to the bench.
