AC Milan coach Leonardo is in a confident mood and wants to see nothing but a win against Marseille in their Champions League clash on Wednesday night.

The Rossoneri will seal their passage through to the next round with maximum points, and the Brazilian knows it's time to deliver on a grand scale.

"I will not settle for a draw against Marseille. I want to win the game," Leonardo told the press at Milanello.

While Milan appear to be in a harmonious state on the pitch, the same cannot be said off it. A number of players are injured, and an increasing noise has echoed resonantly around Gennaro Gattuso and a reported move to Chelsea. Leonardo was eager to squash the reports.

"The situation is very clear with Gattuso. I have spoken to him and there are no problems. He has been injured and I hope to have him back soon.

"If there has been a problem then we will deal with it. The problem has been his injury, not any other."

Marco Borriello appeared to suffer a knee injury on Monday and is doubtful.

"Borriello? We have to analyse his condition to see if he can play."
