AC Milan have been dealt a big injury blow ahead of the visit of Chelsea in the Champions League with Charles De Ketelaere ruled out.
The Belgian wonderkid, a summer signing, has suffered a muscle injury and will not be risked despite the Serie A side needing to take points off the Blues at San Siro.
De Ketelaere joins a long injury list, which already includes the likes of Mike Maignan, Simon Kjaer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Calabria.
More positive news sees both Theo Hernandez and Junior Messias return from injury.
Milan manager Stefano Pioli is keen not to make excuses ahead of the game ahead a team who beat them 3-0 just last week.
"Milan must not live between doubts and worries but must play at their level," he told reporters.
"We need a high-level match against a strong team. We must not be worried, tomorrow is another match and we must try to play at our level."
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be without Hakim Ziyech, N'Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana. Ziyech came off the bench against Wolves but missed training on Monday, with the latter pair also absent at Cobham.
