| Kaka doubt for Coppa clash |
Wednesday 3 December, 2008 |

Brazilian ace Kaka is set to add to Milan's injury crisis ahead of tonight's Coppa Italia encounter with Lazio.
The Diavolo host the capital club in the last 16 of the Cup this evening looking to bounce back from last weekend's defeat at the hands of Palermo.
However, Carlo Ancelotti will be missing some key men and will look to rest others.
Striking starlet Alexandre Pato is out with a rib injury, while midfield ace Andrea Pirlo won't be risked as he has only just returned after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Massimo Ambrosini, Daniele Bonera, Pippo Inzaghi, Alessandro Nesta and Marco Borriello are also all injured.
And now it seems that Kaka is unlikely to feature after he reported a calf strain, which he doesn't want to aggravate.
Kaka will undergo a fitness test this afternoon but sources suggest that he will sit out the clash.
Nelson Dida is likely to be handed the goalkeeping gloves with Luca Antonini, Philippe Senderos, Kakha Kaladze and Giuseppe Favalli at the back.
The match will be shown live on SportsXchange, Sky channel 456 and in the Republic of Ireland on UPC channel 417. Kick-off is at 19.45.
Milan (probable): Dida; Antonini, Senderos, Kaladze, Favalli; Cardacio, Emerson, Flamini, Ronaldinho; Seedorf, Shevchenko
Lazio (probable): Muslera; Lichtsteiner, Rozehnal, Diakité, Kolarov; Dabo, Ledesma, Meghni, Mauri; Zarate, Pandev
