Alexis Sanchez to start against AC Milan?

Alexis Sanchez is expected to return to the Barcelona team for their Champions League clash with Italian outfit AC Milan on Tuesday evening.

The Chilean, who has scored four times in 10 matches this season, has impressed in the early stages of the campaign after struggling for consistency in the 2012-13 season.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the 24-year-old, who sat out Barca's 0-0 draw with Osasuna in La Liga at the weekend, will form part of a front three with Neymar and Lionel Messi in the European clash.

Sanchez has scored just three goals in the Champions League for the Spanish champions since joining from Udinese in the summer of 2011.
