Player to watch – Tijani Reijnders

Dutch midfielder Tijani Reijnders has an excellent knack for chipping in with goals for AC Milan and the 26-year-old has scored three times in his last four appearances in the Champions League.

Reijnders worth tracking

Reijnders has already notched seven times in all competitions for AC Milan this season and his ability to convert chances from several different scenarios should make him a threatening presence for the Italian giants again on Wednesday evening.
