Dida return
The 34-year-old Australian international, who finished the Reggina game despite being hurt, has played seven matches in Serie A and two in the UEFA Champions League this season as cover for Dida, who sustained a quadricep tendon injury 78 minutes into Milan's 1-0 loss at AEK Athens FC on 21 November. The Brazilian, however, is expected to return for the weekend league trip to S.S. Lazio and, barring unforeseen events, should remain between the posts for the UEFA Champions League visit to Celtic in the first leg of the first knockout round. Usual third choice Valerio Fiori, meanwhile, should play in the return leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-final against AC Arezzo on Thursday.
