The Nerazzurri will remain without Matteo Darmian (hamstring), Gabriel Brazao (ligament rupture) and Joaquin Correa (hamstring).

Nicolo Barella is suspended from the clash after picking up his fifth booking of the season on Friday. That means Roberto Gagliardini could get a chance to start in midfield.
