Bonera may not be able to handle the pressure, hopefully Maldini will be ready, same with Gattuso.
If they're not, we should try this:
Dida
Oddo - Nesta - Bonera - Jankulovski
Ambrosini - Pirlo - Gourcuff
Kaka - Seedorf
Inzaghi

Gennaro Gattuso was furious at himself for suffering an injury, but promised to “do battle†in the second leg.
Milan were leading 2-1 when Rino was stretchered off with a strain to the sole of his foot and the team went on to lose 3-2 against Manchester United.
“There is a week and I will do everything I can to be there. In any case, we will certainly do battle at San Siro,†said the visibly irritated midfielder.
“I was annoyed to have to leave my teammates. I very rarely leave the field and it really burned me. The result was also painful considering how we played, so obviously we are angry, but don’t worry – we will go for it.
“To reach the Final we need a great performance, but we knew that anyway, even if it had ended 2-2. Now I am convinced the 70,000 fans in San Siro will give us a helping hand.â€
Although they have to win in the second leg on May 2, Milan have two away goals at Old Trafford.
“I don’t see any reason why we should be worried. After this match we emerge a strong outfit with real champions and we will go into the second leg relaxed.
“We certainly showed we are a tough side, as we fought back from a goal down to lead and the fans pushed Manchester on to victory. It is not a bad result.â€
Gattuso was jeered as he was stretchered off, but did not take it personally from a club he has so often been linked to.
“The fans all over the world are the same. They cheer on their own colours and jeer the opposition, that’s as it should be.
“Those rumours about me and Manchester United have been going for years, but I sweat blood for the Milan jersey and it is part of my life. I want to keep wearing it for a very long time.â€

Rino Gattuso suffered a knock to the sole of his foot and left the field due to the pain. However, things are looking optimistic in regards to his condition and for his recovery for Milan-Manchester. He should be there for the return leg at the San Siro. Paolo Maldini’s situation will be evaluated. Patrice Evra will not be able to play because he received a second yellow card tonight and will be suspended for the second leg.
