Paqueta & Strinic in Milan squad

Lucas Paqueta and Ivan Strinic are in the Milan squad for Saturday’s Coppa Italia last-16 tie with Sampdoria, but Suso misses out.

Paqueta is in line to make his Milan debut after completing his switch from Flamengo, while Strinic has been given the all-clear to resume his career following his recovery from a heart problem.

However, Suso – who was already suspended for the game – has reportedly suffered a recurrence of the fitness issues that ruled out him out of the Rossoneri’s 0-0 draw with Frosinone on Boxing Day.
