Francesco Camarda and Fikayo Tomori are set to start for Milan as Ruben Amorim’s side visit Salzburg looking to recover from their opening Europa League defeat.
It kicks off at 18:45 CET [17:45 BST] at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
Milan were beaten at home by Benfica on Matchday 1, and they arrive in Austria after being held 1-1 by Sassuolo in Serie A at the weekend. Salzburg opened their campaign by beating Levski Sofia and are on a 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions, after a goalless draw with Grazer AK last time out.

Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers are unavailable for the Rossoneri, while Gonçalo Ramos is expected to drop to the bench after a heavy workload.
That opens the door for the young striker Camarda, who has played just eight minutes so far this season. It would be his first start of the campaign and his first in Europe. “Camarda? He’s an option against Salzburg, we have to give space to these young players,” Amorim said on the eve of the game.
According to Sky, Amorim will revert to a back three, with Tomori, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic in front of Mike Maignan, and Adrien Rabiot is ahead of Luka Modric in midfield. The system could switch to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1 during the game, with Tomori and Davide Bartesaghi as full-backs and Omari Hutchinson and Alphadjo Cisse pushed out wide.
Radio Rossonera, however, has Modric starting alongside Ardon Jashari instead of Rabiot.
Danny Röhl’s Salzburg rely heavily on Haris Tabakovic, who already has 10 goals this season, six of them in the Europa League across the qualifiers and Matchday 1.
The match is available on TNT Sports 5 and HBO Max in the UK and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a live blog, with Salzburg-Milan followed by Celta Vigo-Juventus.
