Milan are forced to use Ante Rebic instead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but Sandro Tonali and Brahim Diaz get their first starts against newly-promoted Crotone.

The Rossoneri have already played three competitive matches this season, all of them victories, including Thursday’s hard-fought 3-2 Europa League preliminary round success against Norwegians Bodo/Glimt.

Ibrahimovic scored a brace in last weekend’s Serie A win over Bologna, but he is out after testing positive for COVID-19.

Rebic was suspended in the Europa League, so he can lead the attack today with support from Hakan Calhanoglu and Alexis Saelemaekers.

There are first starts in the Milan jersey for Brahim Diaz and Sandro Tonali, but Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacchio, Leo Duarte and Andrea Conti are still out of action.

Stefano Pioli’s men are unbeaten in 13 Serie A games, 10 of which were victories.

Crotone had a rough start to Serie A life, beaten 4-1 by Genoa, and lost goal-scorer Emmanuel Riviere to injury during that game.

Ahmad Benali, Giuseppe Cuomo and Guillame Gigliotti are also out of action.

Simy leads the attack and is the one to watch, as he was Capocannoniere of Serie B last season with 20 goals.

He is joined this time by on-loan RSC Anderlecht centre-forward Denis Dragus.

Crotone: Cordaz; Magallan, Marrone, Golemic; Pedro Pereira, Zanellato, Cigarini, Messias, Molina; Simy, Dragus

Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Gabbia, Kjaer, Theo Hernandez; Kessie, Tonali; Brahim Diaz, Calhanoglu, Saelemaekers; Rebic
