Red Bull Salzburg

Christian Zawieschitzky remains doubtful for the visit of AC Milan after an adductor problem kept him out against Grazer AK. Christian Früchtl made his first recent start in that match and is expected to continue in goal.

Nikolas Veratschnig is unavailable, so Leandro Morgalla is likely to start at right-back. Kévin Boma and Tim Drexler should continue in central defence, with Dominik Schmid on the left. Haris Tabaković is expected to return to the starting eleven after appearing as a substitute against Grazer AK, while Edmund Baidoo and Bartosz Mazurek could also come back into the side.

Salzburg go into the match 14th with three points from the opening round.

AC Milan

Matteo Gabbia will miss Milan's trip to Salzburg with a thigh injury. He made his first start against Sassuolo but is now dealing with a thigh flexor injury involving partial tendon damage and will see a specialist before treatment is decided.

Alexis Saelemaekers also remains out with an ankle injury, having started twice in the last five games. Fikayo Tomori is favoured on the right of the three-man defence, though Mario Gila is an alternative. Further forward, Luka Modrić is expected to start alongside Adrien Rabiot after appearing against Sassuolo, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Diego Moreira are the two candidates for the supporting role behind Gonçalo Ramos.
