AC Milan host Chelsea FC at the San Siro tonight in search of redemption after the big 3-0 loss at Stamford Bridge in London last week.
Milan have some momentum after beating Juventus 2-0 but are still missing lots of key players for this fixture.
Milan need to be wary of slipping too far below Chelsea and RB Salzburg as the club have 4 points tied with Chelsea but Salzburg have 5 at the moment.
The home side will be boosted by the news that Theo Hernandez is set to return having missed last week’s fixture and having completed 90 minutes against Juventus at the weekend will be a welcome and timely addition with the struggles they faced against James last week.
Meanwhile, Charles De Ketelaere will miss the game with a minor muscle problem.
On the other hand, Chelsea cannot afford to let go of their momentum at the San Siro, with another three points set to put them in a very good position for progression.
Wesley Fofana’s injury in match week three, an N’Golo Kante setback and Hakim Ziyech’s illness have put some constraints on Potter’s team, but otherwise, the former Brighton man has a large group to pick from.
