The Rossoneri won the first leg 3-0 with a Ruben Loftus-Cheek brace and Rafael Leao strike, but their confidence was hit on Sunday by a 4-2 Serie A defeat to Monza.

Jovic saw red and earned a two-match Serie A ban, so he starts here instead, with Leao also returning to the XI.

Loftus-Cheek is rested, giving Reijnders a more advanced trequartista role, while Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu and Tommaso Pobega are injured.

Jan-Carlo Simic and Alex Jimenez are not on the UEFA list.

Rennes had won eight in a row before the 3-0 defeat at San Siro and got back on track by beating Clermont Foot 3-1 at the weekend.

The hosts are without Mahamadou Nagida, Enzo Le Fée and Fabian Rieder, but have former Bologna defender Arthur Theate.

Amine Gouiri steps in for a more attack-minded side, moving Terrier wide.
