Ancelotti set to rest strikers

AC MILAN coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to rest strikers Filippo Inzaghi and Rivaldo for tonight’s Group C tie with Borussia Dortmund.

The Italians, who have already qualified for the knockout stages, should start with Andriy Shevchenko up front, just ahead of Portuguese play maker Rui Costa.

Fernando Redondo takes the place of regular central midfielder Andrea Pirlo, with Samuele Dalla Bona and Cristian Brocchi on the wings. Christian Abbiati replaces first team goalkeeper Dida between the posts.
