It’s the news AC Milan fans wanted to see. Rafael Leao starts tonight’s Champions League semi-final second leg.
The Portuguese winger returns to the front three with Alexis Saelemakers dropping to the bench.
Leao’s return is one of three changes from the first leg. The big surprise is that captain Simon Kjaer is dropped to the bench, with Malick Thiaw starting in his place.
The other change sees Ismael Bennacer, who limped out of the first half of the first leg, replaced by Junior Messias.
No surprise to see Inter are unchanged from the first leg, with Romelu Lukaku having to settle for a place on the bench.
