After a heavy league defeat to Como, the Bianconeri now face a major European test against Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid in matchday three of the Champions League new phase. The demanding fixture will test their credentials and resilience.

Tudor will be pleased to welcome back two key players. Edon Zhegrova, the Kosovan winger signed this summer, has recovered from a groin problem that has kept him out recently. Still seeking his best form, the 26-year-old will be eager to make an impact on one of football's biggest stages.

Fabio Miretti also returns, making his first squad appearance of the season after recovering from an injury sustained during pre-season against Juventus Next Gen. The young midfielder enjoyed a strong loan spell at Genoa last year and adds valuable depth to the squad.

The absentees remain limited to Pinsoglio, Bremer, Cabral, and Milik, all of whom continue their recovery.
