Those players include Rafael Leao, Thomas Kjaer, Ante Rebic and Mislav Orsic. Read on to find out more about these players and the rest of the roster!
Mislav Orsic
It’s Matchday Two of the Champions League and the Italians will be playing Dinamo Zagreb. Both teams are in contention for a place in the next stage of the competition. AC Milan need points to make it through, and they have a solid record against Dinamo. They have won two matches against the Croatian side in recent years, including a 3-1 win in September.
The match will see some of the European big wigs take to the field. Milan coach Andrea Pioli will be making a few changes to his starting line-up. Alexis Saelemaekers and Alessandro Florenzi are both out of the lineup. Davide Calabria is also unavailable. Bosko Sutalo is out with an injury.
Mislav Orsic will be leading the attack for Zagreb. He has already scored two goals in the Champions League this season. In addition, he has six goals in the Croatian league.
Zagreb have an excellent record at home in the Champions League. They haven’t lost a home game in the group stages this season. However, they have yet to beat AC Milan.
Ante Rebic
Ante Rebic will start in AC Milan’s game against Dinamo Zagreb tonight. He scored two goals in the DFB-Pokal final. In addition, he assisted three goals in all competitions in the 2017/18 season.
Rebic spent most of his time with Fiorentina on loan. However, he joined Eintracht Frankfurt in July 2018. After a one-year loan, he moved on permanently for EUR2 million.
After scoring five times against Torino in the past, he will be expected to be a key player against Dinamo. Rebic is known for his versatility and is a threat on either wing.
AC Milan will travel to Zagreb tonight in need of a win to avoid the Europa League. They are currently positioned third in the group.
There are a number of injury concerns for Milan. Alexis Saelemaekers is out injured, Alessandro Florenzi is doubtful, and Mike Maignan is missing. Davide Calabria and Sergino Dest are also a doubt.
Milan lost their last two Champions League games. They need to win against Dinamo to stay in the competition.
Thomas Kjaer
AC Milan will be heading to Zagreb for their Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night. Considering the score line in Milan’s last game, it would be no surprise to see the Croatian club take the lead.
However, the match will not be an easy one. The Croatian team has not lost a home match in the Champions League this season. This could mean that they have the chance to draw the game and still qualify for the next round.
Despite having won only four games all season, the Zagreb team are in good form on their home turf. They have only lost one of their previous six matches. In fact, they have beaten a number of teams in the Europa League this season.
As a result, it is expected that the coach of AC MILAN, Stefano Pioli, will rest some key players. Specifically, he will name Fikayo Tomori as his first choice centre-back.
Rafael Leao
AC Milan will be travelling to Zagreb in Croatia to play Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday. Milan has a fantastic record against this opponent in the Champions League. They have won all five matches.
AC Milan have won four straight in Serie A and will be looking to continue that streak. Davide Calabria, Alexis Saelamaekers, and Mike Maignan are all out of this game because of injuries. It’s likely that Pioli will make some changes to the line up.
Dinamo Zagreb has lost all of its previous five games against AC Milan. They will need to win this match and hope for some positive results in the other two matches to keep themselves alive.
The last time these teams played, AC Milan won 0-4. Dinamo Zagreb are coming off a draw with Hajduk Split and won 3-1 against Slaven Koprivnica. This is the third meeting between the sides in the group stages of the Champions League.
