The Rossoneri are looking forward to a Champions League quarter-final with Napoli, but also need to get back on track in Serie A after a defeat to Fiorentina and disappointing draw with Salernitana.
Stefano Pioli is forced into several changes, as Giroud is suspended, while Theo Hernandez has flu and Junior Messias is dealing with a muscular injury.
Ibrahimovic therefore gets his first start since a 0-0 draw with Juventus on January 23, 2022, now aged 41, and is the captain from the start for the first time too.
Fode Ballo-Toure fills in on the left wing, with Alexis Saelemaekers on the right.
Udinese are unbeaten in three and last week ended their six-round winless streak by beating Empoli 1-0.
Gerard Deulofeu and Enzo Ebosse are out for the rest of the season following knee surgery, with Adam Masina also on the treatment table.
Pereyra pulls the strings, with Beto and Isaac Success upfront.
The Friulani have not beaten Milan since a 1-0 result here in August 2019, followed by three draws and as many defeats, but both teams scored in all of those games.
Udinese: Silvestri; Perez, Bijol, Becao; Ehizibue, Samardzic, Pereyra, Walace, Udogie; Beto, Success
Milan: Maignan; Kalulu, Thiaw, Tomori; Saelemaekers, Tonali, Bennacer, Ballo-Touré; Brahim Diaz, Leao; Ibrahimovic
