Milan playmaker Ronaldinho has been dropped for the Champions League match against Marseille tomorrow night, with Leonardo bringing in the changes following the 0-0 draw against Livorno on Saturday.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the starting XI that began in Tuscany will undergo radical changes, with several stars being banished to the bench. The Rossoneri almost sank in the port city, and their coach has prepared a tide of change. Ronaldinho, Clarence Seedorf, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Marek Jankulovski are expected to make way.

The Brazilian ace was poor against Livorno, replaced by Andrea Pirlo early in the second half.

Meanwhile, Huntelaar was shy in front of goal against the Amaranto, and Jankulovski made a number of errors that could have cost his side dearly.

Pirlo is likely to start off as the playmaker, with Gianluca Zambrotta replacing Jankulovski on the left. Filippo Inzaghi could start in place of Huntelaar.
