Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez return to Milan's starting line-up alongside Alvaro Morata and Christian Pulisic against Club Brugge as they look for their first Champions League points.

It starts at 5.45pm UK time (4.45pm GMT) in San Siro.

You can follow all the build-up and action of this game, Juventus-VfB Stuttgart and Aston Villa-Bologna, in the live blog.

Paulo Fonseca continues to be under pressure, especially after losing both Champions League games against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.

The Rossoneri returned to winning ways in Serie A at the weekend and managed to secure a 1-0 win against Udinese despite Tijjani Reijnders' early red card.

Theo Hernandez was suspended for this game and Rafael Leao was ruled out, but both return to the starting XI today along with Matteo Gabbia and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Morata is once again deployed as a center forward in the 4-2-3-1 as Tammy Abraham is out with a shoulder injury and is on the treatment table alongside Davide Calabria, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi.

Club Brugge lost their first Champions League game at home 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund and conceded all the goals in the last 15 minutes, but then won 1-0 away against Sturm Graz.

Gustaf Nilsson and Björn Meijer are injured, Dedryck Boyata and Kamal Sowah are not eligible to play in this tournament.

Former Bologna midfielder Andreas Skov Olsen is struggling with calf problems and is therefore not 100 percent fit.

They have Belgian international Simon Mignolet in goal and impressive left-back Maxim De Cuyper, who has been linked with a possible move to Milan.

Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis and Skov Olsen are the top scorers with four goals in all competitions this season.

Club Brugge won 1-0 in their last away game here, even though that was 21 years ago.
