Milan give Andre Silva a chance to rediscover his scoring touch as they host Ludogorets in the Europa League Round of 32.

The Rossoneri have one foot in the final 16 thanks to their first leg 3-0 victory in Bulgaria, confirming their excellent recent form, unbeaten in 10 competitive games. Coach Gennaro Gattuso has really turned things around since replacing Vincenzo Montella and is expected to extend his contract.
Nikola Kalinic returns after injury, but is only on the bench, so Andre Silva is given an opportunity to prove he’s still a valid member of the team after disappearing in recent weeks.
With his presence, Patrick Cutrone is moved over to the left with Fabio Borini on the right, resting Hakan Calhanoglu, Suso, Davide Calabria, Leonardo Bonucci and Lucas Biglia.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is also rested in favour of his older brother, Antonio.
Mateo Musacchio and Luca Antonelli are out injured.
Ludogorets must do without suspended Erol Dost and Claudiu Keseru, but rotate their squad.
Milan: A Donnarumma; Abate, Zapata, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessié, Montolivo, Locatelli; Borini, Andre Silva, Cutrone
Milan bench: G Donnarumma, Bonucci, Biglia, Bonaventura, Calhanoglu, Mauri, Kalinic
Ludogorets: Broun; Natanel, Moti, Terziev, Cicinho; Goralski, Abel; Wanderson, Marcelinho, Misdjian; Swierczok
Ludogorets bench: Renan, Forster, Campanharo, Dyakov, Plastun, Lukoki, Kovachev
