Preview: AC Milan vs. Bologna

AC Milan's Serie A campaign is quickly becoming a case of damage limitation this season as they find themselves in seventh place in the table.

This weekend the Rossoneri welcome struggling Bologna to the San Siro - a side who are just four points off the relegation zone.

Nigel de Jong remains sidelined for the hosts, while Massimo Ambrosini was recently ruled out for a number of months with a thigh tear. Mathieu Flamini is likely to come into the starting lineup.

Saphir Taideris is unavailable for the visitors, but Panagiotis Kone is expected to return to the team having been rested for Thursday's defeat to Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
