Gennaro Gattuso will miss the crucial clash at Juventus next weekend through suspension, adding to AC Milan's player availability crisis. The rossoneri went into Sunday's clash with Catania missing eight players including Ronaldinho, Inzaghi, Seedorf and Pirlo.

Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping to recover at least four of the missing players to strengthen his side as it prepares for the Juventus encounter.

With both sides trailing Inter Milan by six points, both sides will be desperate for the three points for fear that Inter, who face bottom side Chievo at home, will open up an even bigger lead.
