Milan without Bertolacci for Juve trip
Andrea Bertolacci has been ruled out of Saturday's blockbuster clash between AC Milan and Juventus due to injury.
Bertolacci missed Milan's goalless draw with Atalanta before the international break because of a muscle problem but the Italian midfielder was hopeful of being fit for the trip to Turin.
However, Bertolacci was unable to recover in time and is subsequently absent from Milan's 24-man squad as Sinisa Mihajlovic's men look to move 5 points clear of Serie A holders Juve, currently in 7th position.

Menez returns to AC Milan squad
AC Milan have named Jeremy Menez in their squad for the crunch derby against rivals Inter on Sunday.
The 28-year-old has not played in Serie A all season after suffering with a string of injury problems, a major blow for Sinisa Mihajlovic after Menez netted 16 league goals last season.
But Menez has been included in the 23-man party for Milan's crucial game against Roberto Mancini's side at San Siro having come through training this week.
Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng are also named despite Mihajlovic casting doubts on their match fitness to play in such a pivotal contest.

Montolivo ruled out of Coppa Italia semi-finals
AC Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo will miss the Coppa Italia semi-finals second leg against Alessandria with an Achilles injury.
Sinisa Mihajlovic's men go into Tuesday's tie at San Siro with a 1-0 lead after Mario Balotelli's penalty proved decisive in the away leg.
But 31-year-old Montolivo, who missed Saturday's win over FC Torino through suspension, has not been included in Milan's 23-man squad, with the club insisting it is a precautionary decision due to a minor Achilles problem.
Attacker M'Baye Niang is also out after damaging ankle ligaments and his shoulder in a car crash that will keep him sidelined for around 2 months.
Luiz Adriano (leg) is still not fit, although defender Alessio Romagnoli is named in the squad after recovering from a bout of flu, while Mihajlovic confirmed Balotelli and Jeremy Menez were set to play a key role against Alessandria.

Chinese group to buy AC Milan
AC Milan could be sold to a Chinese consortium "in 6 to 8 weeks", according to financial broker Salvatore Galatioto.
Thai businessman Bee Taechaubol has long been in talks regarding a takeover of the club but negotiations have hit stumbling blocks during recent months.
Club president Silvio Berlusconi was reported last month to have issued an ultimatum to Mr. Bee - who is claimed to have struggled to attract investors since the damage sustained by the Chinese stock market - informing him he must table a bid by the end of the season.
With those talks showing little sign of a breakthrough, an unnamed Chinese group now appears poised to purchase the club, with reports in Italy placing the fee between €600 and €700 million.

Abbiati to retire
Christian Abbiati will retire from football at the end of the season and is set to make a farewell appearance for AC Milan against AS Roma at San Siro on Saturday.
The 38-year-old goalkeeper signed for Milan in 1998, winning 3 Serie A titles and the Champions League in 2003 when he was an unused substitute in the Final against Juventus at Old Trafford.
Abbiati also had loan spells with Juventus, FC Torino and Atletico Madrid during his long Milan career having started his career with Monza and Borgosesia.
The shot stopper was a Milan regular until the last 2 seasons when the signing of Diego Lopez from Real Madrid - and emergence of Gianluigi Donnarumma moved him down the pecking order.
He only made 4 appearances for Italy - all in friendlies - with his last appearance coming in 2005.
Abbiati has only played 6 times this season - 5 of those appearances coming in the Coppa Italia - but will be given the chance to play and say goodbye to supporters by interim coach Cristian Brocchi, with Donnarumma kept fresh for the Coppa Italia Final against Juventus on 21 May.
