Dinamo Zagreb vs Milan – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao will be forced to adapt Fikayo Tomori as a right-back for his side’s Champions League clash at Dinamo Zagreb, which would guarantee straight qualification for the last-16 in case of a win.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb.

With Emerson Royal unavailable due to injury, Davide Calabria suspended, and the newly-signed Kyle Walker ineligible for the competition, the Rossoneri coach is left without defensive options on the right.

As a result, the former Chelsea centre-back is expected to be deployed in that position, with Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in central defence.

Yunus Musah looks favoured to get the nod in midfield over Ismael Bennacer in a trio completed by Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders.

Milan will be able to rely on their best players up front, as Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata and Rafael Leao are urged to step up and help their side cement their place in the top eight.

Dinamo Zagreb coach Fabio Cannavaro is expected to give former Cagliari midfielder Marko Rog a start in midfield, while Martin Baturina could replace injured striker Bruno Petkovic by playing as a false nine.
