Milan skipper Paolo Maldini is struggling to brush aside a knee injury, and may not start tomorrow's Champions League clash against Celtic.
Milan host Celtic in the second leg at the San Siro tomorrow, needing to win after a goalless draw at Celtic Park two weeks ago.
Preventing the Scottish side from grabbing away goals will be a key, particularly after the Rossoneri failed to score in Glasgow.
Maldini's possible absence, under the circumstances, comes as a big blow.
The veteran is determined to play, but coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he will not risk his skipper if he is not fully fit.
"Maldini trained, but he will have a fitness test on Wednesday," said Ancelotti.
Celtic could progress with a score draw, and have taken 10,000 fans to Milan, even though only 5,000 of them have tickets.
