Does anybody know the disciplinary situation for this game? Who's available who's not? Hopefully Nesta makes his return.

Jankulovski is definately out after the yellow he got today

[CrazyMilanFan]

and i wonder if seedorf and flamini will be fit to start this one i hope seedorf makes it bcoz otherwise we will start wth 3 DMs again

[Darunia]

I would go with this lineup:

Abbiati
Zambrotta Nesta Bonera JAntonini
Gattuso Seedorf Ambrosini
Ronaldinho
Shevchenko Inzaghi

Hopefully Seedorf recovers from injury. I would rest Kaka for at least a half for the game on Napoli. Inzaghi is scoring goals again so I'd like to see him get a start. All-italian back 4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Also Gattuso seems to be having some problems...

So if, hypothetically, Gattuso, Seedorf and Flamini were unavailable, does that mean we will finally see Cardacio get a start? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

He would just as well play Paolo as another 'defensive midfielder' in the midfield 3 before that happens, and he won't field Cardacio either, we can forget about it happening anytime soon unless it's a useless friendly

I actually expect there to be a decent amount of turnover for this game.

We know Janku's out on yellow card accumulation. Rino had an icepack on his knee when Galliani visited the dressing room after today's game so he may be out too. I also expect Il Capitano to be rested and possibly one of the Brazilians AMs.

Siena are a good side but they're in 12th place right now and I suspect team selection for this game will be made with an eye toward the Sunday game, which is against Napoli.

I agree and i think maybe Sheva will get a game to

[Zed.D]

Pato didn't start the last two games. I really expect him to start this one.

Carlo better do that (IMG:http://qsmile.com/qsimages/106.gif)

[amancik]

My line-up would be:
Abbiati
Zambrotta-Nesta-Bonera-Antonini
Emerson-Seedorf-Ambrosini
Kaka'
Pato-Boriello

Flamini and Gattuso are out and. Maybe we'd see Cardaccio towards the end of this game.

[amancik]

One thing about Siena, they're not like Atalanta or Cagliari. They will commit people forward which will leave spaces for Kaka' and Pato to exploit. As much as I'd like Kaka to sit out, I wouldn't want our Kaka (on-form) to be benched just yet.

Here is Dr. Manara's report on the various injuries:
(translation and typos from acmilan.com's english page)

MILANELLO - This is the summary on the conditions of the injured players, made today through Milan Channel by the club's doctor, Massimo Manara, at the end of the morning session:

MATHIEU FLAMINI: "The player present himself with a muscle problem to his left thigh. We believe it's a knock, but he will still have to rest for two or three days."

RINO GATTUSO: "He had another small trauma to his right knee, which has been giving him troubl this year. In any case, the athlete should be available of the team already from tomorrow."

RONALDINHO: "He had a bruise to his right kneecap. Today he underwent some tests, in the afternoon he will do a radiography. I think that even he will need a couple of days rest."

PHILIPPE SENDEROS AND KAKHA KALADZE: "They're resuming the work with the team, therefore I think that they will have a 'typical' week to be ready for Sunday."

ALESSANDRO NESTA: "He rested for a couple of days because he felt some pain again and underwent some specific therapies. I think that from Wednesday he can resume the work with the team."

CLARENCE SEEDORF: "Even today he underwent some therapy for this problem to his right hip. He will undergo a radiography today. I think that he will be available already from tomorrow, but we shall see how he presents himself tomorrow before training."

ANDREA PIRLO: "He took a resonance test due to the muscle lesion from September. The times are more or less the predicted ones."

Note: Senderos and Kaladze did specific traning with the ball today. They didn't follow the full practice with the team.
