Team News: Andrea Bertolacci back for AC Milan against Chievo

Bertolacci back for Milan against Chievo

Midfielder Andrea Bertolacci has returned to the AC Milan starting lineup in the only change to the Rossoneri side for tonight's Serie A clash with Chievo at San Siro.

The 24-year-old, who had been sidelined with a knee injury, is brought into the midfield in place of Andrea Poli after Sinisa Mihajlovic's side won for the first time in five matches at the weekend against Sassuolo.

Mihajlovic has kept faith with 16-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was handed his debut at the expense of Diego Lopez in the 2-1 victory on Sunday.

With Mario Balotelli still ruled after after picking up a groin complaint on international duty with Italy earlier this month, Alessio Cerci continues to partner top scorer Carlos Bacca in attack.

For the much-changed visitors, captain Sergio Pellissier is brought in to play alongside Alberto Paloschi in attack in one of seven alterations to the team which lost 1-0 at Napoli on Sunday.

AC Milan: Donnarumma; Abate, Alex, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Bonaventura, Montolivo, Kucka, Bertolacci; Cerci, Bacca Subs: Abbiati, Diego Lopez, Calabria, Zapata, Mexes, De Sciglio, Poli, De Jong, Mauri, Suso, Honda, Luiz Adriano

AC Chievo Verona: Bizzarri; Cesar, Dainelli, Gobbi, Frey; Birsa, Castro, Radovanovic, Pinzi; Paloschi, Pellissier Subs: Seculin, Bressan, Gamberini, Sardo, Cacciatore, Pepe, Christiansen, Mpoku, Inglese, Meggiorini
