Edouard Mendy could miss the game after picking up an injury against the Hammers. He was caught in the ribs by Jarrod Bowen and could be injury doubt for the game. It is too early to say when he will return if he is out.

New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw the last game from the stands. It was reported that the player had travelled to Milan to get a protective mask fitted. He is expected to be on the bench, but whether he plays or not remains to be seen.

N’Golo Kante is still recovering from a hamstring injury and is likely to miss the game against Dinamo Zagreb. It is still unknown when the French midfielder will return. Denis Zakaria, who arrived on loan from Juventus has still not gotten his work permit and is likely to miss the game.

N’Golo Kante is still recovering from his injury.

Trevoh Chalobah remained an unused sub against West Ham last time out. He had picked up an injury in the game against Leicester City and missed the game against Southampton. It remains to be seen if the defender gets to play in Tuesday’s affair.
