Dida has not played for the Rossoneri since the clash with Napoli on January 13, due to injury.
Australian-giant Zeljko Kalac filled in during the Serie A matches with Udinese, Atalanta, Genoa, and Reggina.
According to the Corriere, Dida was actually fit enough to return to the first team during the 1-0 win at the Stadio Granillo, however Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti opted to keep faith with Kalac.
During this time the 35-year-old ex-Perugia man has been relatively impressive, keeping three clean sheets, and pulling off a string of outstanding stops during the win at Udinese.
With this in mind it now seems that Kalac will continue to stay in goal, thus leaving Dida on the bench.
The Brazilian has had a nightmare of a campaign, making a number of high profile blunders.
Kalac had also not crowned himself in glory earlier this season, when he made a mistake in a 2-1 defeat at Palermo, but he now has been given a chance for an extended run in the team.
It remains to be seen just how long Kalac will remain ahead of Dida, especially with the crucial Champions League clash with Arsenal just a few weeks away.
