All AC Milan need to do is avoid defeat against RB Salzburg in order to progress to the knock-out stage of the Champions League as the two teams meet at San Siro on Wednesday. With Chelsea already clinching the top spot in Group E, Salzburg can also qualify if they beat Milan.
Stefano Pioli's men suffered defeat home and away against Chelsea, which may come back to haunt them on the final matchday, but a 4-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb last time out has ensured that their destiny is still in their hands.
Meanwhile, Salzburg will be looking to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea last week as they sit third in the group, just a point behind Milan with ambitions to reach the last 16 for a second successive season.

AC Milan team news and squad
Pioli has signed a fresh contract as Milan coach until 2025 but is dealing with a number of injuries in the squad ahead of the crucial Champions League decider.
Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Mike Maignan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all unavailable due to injury.
However, Ismael Bennacer and Olivier Giroud should return to the XI, probably in place of Tommaso Pobega and Divock Origi; while Fikayo Tomori is back after serving his one-game ban and may partner the experienced Simon Kjaer over Matteo Gabbia in the heart of the defense.

Max Wober may switch to a centre-back role, allowing captain Andreas Ulmer to play as left-back.
