Napoli
Luciano Spalletti's hand will be forced into making at least two changes from the first leg, though a third may transform his team's hopes of overturning their one-goal deficit.
After Kim Min-jae was booked for dissent in the closing stages at San Siro, Napoli's defensive rock joins Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa on the sidelines due to suspension, but the return of top scorer Victor Osimhen up front will certainly compensate.
Though the Nigeria international has now fully recovered from injury, his deputy Giovanni Simeone again misses out with a thigh problem; fellow forward Giacomo Raspadori should drop out of the starting XI.
In Anguissa's absence, either Eljif Elmas or Tanguy Ndombele will complete the hosts' midfield trio alongside Stanislav Lobotka and Piotr Zielinski. The latter has been involved in five goals from four home Champions League appearances this season; averaging a goal involvement every 49 minutes.
Napoli possible starting lineup:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Rui; Ndombele, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
AC Milan
Milan, meanwhile, made 10 changes to their team on Saturday, as only Mike Maignan was retained and Stefano Pioli's second string were given an opportunity to impress.
Reverting to full strength, the visitors should be unchanged from last week's win on home soil, with Olivier Giroud leading the line; the veteran striker has been involved in six goals from nine European outings this season - the best tally for Milan since Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2011-12.
The Swedish striker is both ineligible and injured so misses out on Tuesday, but Simon Kjaer, Sandro Tonali and Rafael Leao are among those set to feature again.
Only Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior has completed more dribbles than Leao (33) in the Champions League this term, and the Portuguese winger's tally represents the most by a Milan player since Kaka in 2004-05 (37).
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Krunic, Tonali; Diaz, Bennacer, Leao; Giroud
Prediction: Napoli 1-1 AC Milan (AC Milan win 2-1 on aggregate)
