Dida gets nod for United trip

Brazilian goalkeeper Dida has been included in AC Milan’s 25-man squad for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Dida has been struggling with a shoulder injury but was one of four goalkeepers named by Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, who rested most of his first-teamers for yesterday’s 3-1 Serie A win over Cagliari.

Striker Ronaldo has been omitted as he is not registered to play in the Champions League.

Squad: Dida, Kalac, Fiori, Storari; Bonera, Cafu, Costacurta, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Serginho, Simic; Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf; Gilardino, Inzaghi, Oliveira.
