Well, guys, AC Milan made only two modifications from the original list for the 2008 - 2009 UEFA Cup. Good thing is that even though midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is still recovering from injury he was not substituted. Hip hip hurrah!
The two changes made by AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti were the incorporataion of defender Alessandro Nesta and midfielder David Beckahm. Out of the original list from September 1, 2008 are Emerson and forward Marco Borriello, who due to technical and physical recovery choices, will still be able to play in the league, which remains the first objective of the Rossoneri's season.
