Rafael Leao returns to the Milan XI for a Champions League game against Real Madrid, while Yunus Musah is expected to start on the right wing.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (19:00 GMT) at the Estadio Bernabeu in Madrid.

The Rossoneri have three points in the opening three Champions League games, while Madrid have six.

Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi are unavailable for the Rossoneri. Luka Jovic is not on their UEFA list, but Tammy Abraham is back after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Leao was benched in three consecutive Serie A games, but Paulo Fonseca confirmed at a Monday-match press conference that the Portuguese would start against the Merengues.

Christian Pulisic will begin as an attacking midfielder, and his compatriot Musah will likely get the nod on the right flank.

Former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata will start in attack and expects a hostile reception from his ex-fans.

Real Madrid are without David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois and Dani Carvajal.
