CONFIRMED lineups for Bologna v Milan clash

Milan were scheduled to visit the Dall'Ara and play their matchday 9 clash against Bologna in October but the game was postponed due to heavy flooding. Four months later, the game is now a must-win for both sides. The 'Rossoneri' and the 'Rossoblu' are level on points (41) in the Serie A standings as they chase the Champions League qualifying spots. 

Sergio Conceicao's side have no room for error as they find themselves eight points away from the European places after their painful 2-1 defeat at Torino. Injured trio Kyle Walker, Emerson Royal and Alessandro Florenzi are all unavailable to Milan in defence, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek missing in the middle of the park due to a hamstring injury.

Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna also head into the fixture looking to bounce back from a 2-0 loss away to Parma. Davide Calabria and Tommaso Pobega will be on the bench in their reunion with their former side, with all the spotlight going on 20-year-old Santiago Castro to cause damage upfront. Bologna count the absences of Emil Holm and Estanis Pedrola due to injuries
