Antonio Conte will patch himself up to return to the San Siro touchline when Tottenham take on AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.
Conte has foregone medical advice by travelling with his squad 11 days after having his gallbladder removed, but it is understandable that the former Inter Milan head coach wants to take a more active role after his team were hammered 4-1 by Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Stefano Pioli’s Milan took the Serie A title from Inter last season but have been in dismal form since the turn of the year, only ending a seven-match slump without a win by edging past Torino 1-0 at the weekend.
Sporting News is following the match live and providing live score updates and commentary.

AC Milan vs Tottenham lineups
AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli is still without Ismael Bennacer and Fikayo Tomori through injury, but they could be back for the second leg. First-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan is still out.

AC Milan subs: Mirante (GK), Thiaw, Toure, Adli, Ibrahimovic, Rebic, Bakayoko, Origi, Messias
Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery with club captain Hugo Lloris also sidelined.
Pape Sarr is likely to replace Bentancur in midfield with Cristian Romero also back following a Premier League ban. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is suspended, so Oliver Skipp should start given Yves Bissouma is also injured.
