Defender Alessandro Nesta has been left out of AC Milan’s squad for the UEFA Cup.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti has chosen 10 defenders in the 25-man roster, including veteran captain Paolo Maldini, but Nesta is not among them.
The 32-year-old has struggled with injury in recent campaigns, and is recovering from a back problem.
Playmaker Kaka, who is recovering from knee surgery, is included.
The Rossoneri take on FC Zurich in the first round of the European competition.
