AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has been forced into a goalkeeping change for tonight's Serie A clash with Udinese.

Usual keeper Christian Abbiati suffered a calf injury in training, meaning that 21-year-old Brazilian Gabriel will keep net for the Rossoneri this evening.

Matias Silvestre and Valter Birsa both return from injury to take their place in the starting lineup, with Kaka also overcoming a knock to be named on the bench.

Maurizio Domizzi and Zeljko Brkic are both missing for the visitors, while Roberto Pereyra has been chosen to play alongside Antonio Di Natale.

Milan: Gabriel, Abate, Silvestre, Zapata, Constant, Poli, Montolivo, Muntari, Birsa, Robinho, Matri

Udinese: Kelava, Heurtaux, Danilo, Naldo, Basta, Pinzi, Allan, Lazzari, Gabriel Silva, Pereyra, Di Natale
