Real Madrid
Real Madrid will again be without the services of Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo and David Alaba for Tuesday's Champions League clash, but Antonio Rudiger is expected to be fit despite concerns over a recent knee problem.
Ancelotti will be able to select his strongest available XI due to the fact that the team have not been in action since El Clasico, and there are not expected to be any major surprises in their side on Tuesday night.
Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are set to feature as the front two, but Luka Modric may be given the nod over Aurelien Tchouameni in the middle of midfield, with Ancelotti wanting more control in that area of the field.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Modric; Bellingham; Vinicius, Mbappe
AC Milan
As for Milan, Luka Jovic, Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi are on the sidelines through injury, but Tammy Abraham returned to the squad against Monza and will be available for selection.
Rafael Leao started on the bench against Monza, with the attacker only managing one goal during a disappointing start to the campaign, but Fonseca has hinted that the Portugal international will be in the XI against Real Madrid.
Emerson Royal and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also expected to earn recalls following the clash with Monza, while there should be a spot at centre-forward for former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Royal, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Morata, Leao
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 AC Milan
