Zlatan Ibrahimovic will step aside and allow Ronaldinho space to convince coach Massimiliano Allegri, who said he may start for Milan against Ajax if he passes a late fitness test.
Ibrahimovic will be rested for the game as Milan are already through to the last 16 alongside Real Madrid.
But despite the game's dead rubber nature, Allegri has asked for strict and unswerving order from those who get the nod.
"Milan will go on the pitch to play an important game," Allegri told the press.
"Ronaldinho has not trained after a knock he sustained on Sunday, but if he has recovered then he will play alongside Robinho.
"Ibrahimovic? He will be on the bench.
"Tomorrow's game is not a friendly. It's a Champions League match and I always want to win.
"We are already through, but if we lose then we will be angry."
