Gattuso fit but Maldini a doubt
Italy World Cup-winning midfielder Gennaro Gattuso should be available for AC Milan's Champions League semi-final return match with Manchester United on Wednesday - but veteran defender Paolo Maldini is a possible absentee.
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed the team news after the 1-0 win at Torino on Saturday - a game in which neither Maldini nor Gattuso features.
"The only player in doubt is Maldini but we still have four days to get him fit," said Ancelotti in remarks reported by www.gazzetta.it. "Gattuso will definitely be available, however."
Both men picked up injuries in the first leg in Manchester, won 3-2 by United.
Ancelotti was impressed by United's form which on Saturday took them closer to regaining the Premiership title with a 3-2 win over Everton on a day when Chelsea drew 2-2 with Bolton.
"They (United) are doing well in the championship and have extended their lead over Chelsea so they will have less pressure than they would have had with a bad result," said Ancelotti.
"But a Champions League semi-final is something special. It will be a game where we have to play at our best without losing concentration but with the right level of intensity and serenity.
"If we play like we did for an hour at Old Trafford we can do it," said Ancelotti whose team led 2-1 in the first leg before two second-half Wayne Rooney goals gave United the win.
