With Henrikh Mkhitaryan sidelined due to injury, Chivu faces a crucial decision.
Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are expected to secure their starting places.
This leaves an opening in midfield for either Zielinski or Sucic to claim.
Despite Sucic’s strong start at San Siro, Zielinski may earn the starting spot on Sunday as he looks to regain his form following a challenging first season in Milan.
