Nigel de Jong is out for the rest of the season, having ruptured his Achillies tendon during Milan's 4-2 win over Torino, while emerging talisman Stephan El Shaarawy is likely to be rested. Summer signing Mame Niang is expected to start in his place. 

Elsewhere, Kevin-Prince Boateng returns from suspension and Sulley Muntari could make his long-awaited return to the first team following his recovery from knee ligament damage.
