The Rossoneri are still without Mattia Caldara and Pepe Reina, but Lucas Biglia and Theo Hernandez are back in the squad after injury problems.

Ante Rebic is also on the bench following his transfer deadline day move from Eintracht Frankfurt, in an exchange of two-season loan deals with Andre Silva.

However, it is Piatek who should return to the starting XI after he was sensationally dropped in favour of Andre Silva for the 1-0 win over Brescia.

Coach Marco Giampaolo is reportedly switching to a 4-3-2-1 formation with Suso joined by Paqueta rather than Samu Castillejo in support of the centre-forward.

Ismael Bennacer is the favourite instead of Biglia for the midfield, with Franck Kessie and Hakan Calhanoglu.

Hellas Verona are still unbeaten since their promotion from Serie B, earning a draw with Bologna despite being down to 10 men for over an hour, then beating Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare.

Salvatore Bocchetti joined the injury list with a calf strain, added to Emmanuel Badu and Daniel Bessa.

Mariusz Stepinski could make his debut upfront after moving across the city from Chievo Verona.

Probable line-ups

Verona: Silvestri; Rrahmani, Kumbulla, Gunter; Faraoni, Amrabat, Veloso, Lazovic; Zaccagni, Tutino; Stepinski

Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessie, Bennacer, Calhanoglu: Suso, Paqueta; Piatek
