PROBABLE LINEUPS |
AC MILAN AbbiatiAbate, Nesta, Yepes, Antonini Nocerino, Van Bommel, Aquilani Boateng Ibrahimovic, Cassano | PARMA Mirante Zaccardo, Paletta, Lucarelli, Gobbi Biabiany, Morrone, Jadid, Modesto Giovinco Floccari |
Captain Massimo Ambrosini's place may be at risk after being hooked at half-time in the astounding comeback against Lecce, with Alberto Aquilani an option and Kevin-Prince Boateng is likely to be included after his heroics on Sunday. Gennaro Gattuso has however been devastated by the news that an eye problem will keep him out for up to six months.
Parma's Franco Colomba should have a full squad to choose from with, Hernan Crespo likely to return to the squad. The Argentine is unlikely to start the match but could well feature from the bench after recovering from a thigh problem.
