Carlo thinks of Benfica as star trio are left out.

Siena vs Milan
Stadio: Artemio Franchi
Ora: 18:00
Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has left out his star trio of Kaka, Pirlo and Oddo, ahead of tomorrow night's game against the struggling Tuscans from Siena, to rest them for Tuesday's tie against Benfica.

Pirlo and Oddo are both carrying a knock and there isn't enough time for both to heal for tomorrow and again play on Tuesday therefore, he has decided to rest them. Kaka too has been left out due to the fact that he arrived back yesterday from America and fatigue is playing a roll as he and Pirlo played the most out of their rossoneri teammates.

Carlo has named his 20 players that will make the trip to the medieval city and along with the star trio Maldini, Serginho and Ronaldo have not been included too. Maldini will only return in October while Ronaldo will be out for a month, as for Serginho he is out long term and no one knows when he is expected back.

Gilardino is expected to start upfront as Pippo will have just returned from international duty. Gila has received many criticism from his fans, his fellow teammates Bonera and Maldini have both given him their backing, and hopefully tomorrow he will be able to steer Milan to a victory.

Siena are currently lying joint last at the bottom of the table along with fellow Tuscans Empoli and Livorno and they will be hoping to be a thorn in Milan's side once again as last year a last minute Massimo Ambrosini goal prevented them from snatching a point.

Leandro Grimi will face his old teamates as he will come face to face with Milan for the first time since he left the Via Turati outfit on loan in the summer.He too is looking forward to the tie just as much as the others.

This game is also expected to see Yoann Gourcuff start in place of Pirlo or Kaka, as well as Emerson. However, attention is on the Frenchman as it was his last minute corner kick that found Ambrosini to let Milan take home the 3 minutes. Much is expected of him this season, and hopefully he will start to help rest the tired legs of the International players.

Milan's convocati:
Portieri: Dida, Valerio Fiori, Zeljko Kalac.
Difensori: Daniele Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Giuseppe Favalli, Marek Jankulovski, Kakhaber Kaladze, Alessandro Nesta, Dario Simic.
Centrocampisti: Massimo Ambrosini, Cristian Brocchi, Emerson, Gennaro Gattuso, Yoann Gourcuff, Clarence Seedorf.
Attaccanti: Willy Aubameyang, Alberto Gilardino, Filippo Inzaghi.
