Strahinja Pavlovic - Spared in Cagliari meeting Pavlovic (illness) didn't sub in during Friday's 1-0 victory against Cagliari.

Christian Pulisic - Mostly managed in Cagliari bout Pulisic (thigh) recorded one shot (one on goal), drew one foul and had nine touches in Friday's 1-0 win over Cagliari.

He'll have about a week to improve ahead of the next match, but Milan might remain cautious to avoid more serious injuries. He has fired one or more attempts in nine showings in a row, totaling 14 (10 on target) and logging seven goals, two assists and nine key passes over that span.

He has logged four or more crosses in six straight appearances, totaling 34 (12 accurate) and posting two goals, nine corners and 11 tackles (nine won) in that stretch.
