Riccardo Montolivo is back in the Milan squad for their game against Udinese, as Lucas Biglia will be out for two months.
The Rossoneri are forced to reshuffle in midfield after news Biglia could be out for at least eight weeks with a muscle tear.
He joins Davide Calabria, Mattia Caldara and Giacomo Bonaventura on the treatment table.
That means veteran midfielder Montolivo is reintegrated into the squad after months of tension with Coach Gennaro Gattuso.
However, Tiemoue Bakayoko is expected to start in the middle of the pitch.
Milan squad for Udinese: A Donnarumma, G Donnarumma, Reina; Abate, Bellanova, Conti, Laxalt, Musacchio, Rodriguez, Romagnoli, Simic, Zapata; Bakayoko, Bertolacci, Kessie, Mauri, Montolivo; Borini, Castillejo, Cutrone, Halilovic, Higuain, Suso
