Ismael Bennacer gets his first start since tearing his ACL in May, supporting Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud as Milan visit Pippo Inzaghi’s struggling Salernitana.
It kicks off at the Stadio Arechi at 19.45 GMT.
The Rossoneri consolidated third place with a 3-0 win over Monza, though the treatment table continues its revolving door policy.
While Bennacer is back in the starting XI for the first time in 226 days and Davide Calabria returns from suspension, Tommaso Pobega and Noah Okafor are new additions to the absentee list with Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Mattia Caldara.
Salernitana are rock bottom and there is already talk that coach Pippo Inzaghi could be fired after one win, two draws and five defeats in Serie A since replacing Paulo Sousa on October 10.
They already brought back director of sport Walter Sabatini, dismissing Morgan De Sanctis.
Giulio Maggiore is suspended, with Guillermo Ochoa still out injured, as Boulaye Dia, Antonio Candreva and Loum Tchaouna start upfront, benching Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi.
Salernitana: Costil; Mazzocchi, Fazio, Pirola, Bradaric; Coulibaly, Legowski, Kastanos; Candreva, Tchaouna; Dia
Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao
