Milan will be without Andrea Pirlo for Tuesday's all-important Champions League clash with Auxerre.

The Serie A leaders have a chance to qualify for the next round, although Auxerre are in a rich vein of form.

Pirlo has been suffering from a thigh injury and Massimiliano Allegri has chosen not to include him in Milan's 21-man squad.

The Rossoneri have done well without the deep-lying playmaker so far this season, operating in a 4-3-1-2 with three ostensibly holding midfielders.
