Acerbi is still dealing with a flexor injury, while Dumfries has a fever.

Buchanan has muscle fatigue and has recently returned from a tibia injury, so he’s expected to remain in Milan.

According to Gazzetta, 19-year-old right-back Mike Aidoo will join the first team, travelling to Germany later today.

Aidoo already went on the bench in Champions League games against Young Boys and RB Leipzig this season.

Inzaghi will provide the latest team news during a pre-match press conference in Germany this evening.
