The Rossoneri were just finding their feet under Stefano Pioli with a fantastic run of January results in Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

However, under 48 hours after the transfer window shut, they find themselves with an injury crisis.

Ismael Bennacer is suspended, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaer suffering from flu symptoms, Lucas Biglia, Rade Krunic and Leo Duarte injured.

Suso and Krzysztof Piatek were sold, so options are limited upfront to Rebic and Leao.

In defence, Mateo Musacchio gets a recall after being dropped in favour of Kjaer, while even in this situation there’s no room for Lucas Paqueta.

Davide Calabria has to start at right-back, because Andrea Conti has tonsillitis.

Hellas Verona are doing surprisingly well since their promotion via the Serie B play-offs last season.

Coach Ivan Juric has them working like a well-oiled machine and this is a head-to-head battle for a European place.

Eddie Salcedo is the only remaining injury absentee, while Sofyan Amrabat and Amir Rrahmani can play already knowing they have sealed moves to Fiorentina and Napoli respectively for next term.

Mattia Zaccagni is available again after his one-match ban, but Fabio Borini will be eager to prove a point against the club he left in January if he comes off the bench.
