Tonight’s showdown at San Siro has all the makings of a ‘make or break’ fixture for the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, consecutive defeats to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have increased pressure on the Serie A pacesetters.

For context, Chivu’s charges sit only two points clear of 15th-placed Barcelona ahead of the kick-off.

With Denzel Dumfries out, Luis Henrique is likely to start on the right wing.

However, Hakan Calhanoglu’s absence leaves a huge gap in the middle of the park.

Therefore, Chivu has yet to decide whether to bring Henrikh Mkhitaryan back to the starting lineup.

Indeed, Davide Frattesi and Petar Sucic are also in the running.
