Milan are expected to start M’Baye Niang, Ricardo Rodriguez, Fabio Borini, Franck Kessie and Mateo Musacchio in the Europa League against Craiova.

The first leg of the Europa League preliminary round kicks off at the Drobeta Turnu Severin stadium on Thursday at 19.00 UK time.

Leonardo Bonucci and Lucas Biglia have not been registered with UEFA yet, as the financial bonds will only come through on August 11.

Alessio Romagnoli is struggling with a recurring knee problem, so summer signings Musacchio and Rodriguez should line up in defence with Ignazio Abate and Cristian Zapata.

Former Atalanta midfielder Kessie impressed in recent friendlies and will certainly be in the starting XI.

With Carlos Bacca and Gabriel Paletta left out so they can find new clubs this summer, there are few attacking options for Coach Vincenzo Montella.

Borini and Niang are expected to flank 19-year-old striker Patrick Cutrone in a trident attack, with Andre Silva on the bench.

Milan (probable): Donnarumma; Abate, Musacchio, Zapata, R. Rodriguez; Kessie, Montolivo, Bonaventura; Borini, Cutrone, Niang
