New Inter Milan striker Goran Pandev is ready to start in the trip to Chievo despite not having played a league game since May after being banished from the squad at Lazio.
The Macedonian has signed for his former club on a free transfer after a messy legal divorce from Lazio and could go straight into the side with Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o at the African Nations Cup.
"In the last few days I trained in Macedonia. I am ready and there are no problems," he told Inter's TV channel.
"Instead of breakfast, we will have lunch at 9am. It's hard," Chievo striker Sergio Pellissier told reporters.
David Beckham's chances of a start in AC Milan's home game with Genoa, where away fans are banned, have been boosted by minor injuries to Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo which could rule them out.
Midfielder Beckham, who has returned for a second loan spell from Los Angeles Galaxy, has said he is willing to play in Milan's problem right back slot but he is unlikely to be thrown in at the deep end in his first match.
Second-placed Milan's other new signing, Ghana under-20 striker Dominic Adiyiah, is still getting used to his new surroundings and is not expected to be involved.
Mali's Mohamed Sissoko is at the African Nations Cup while Gianluigi Buffon, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Mauro Camoranesi are injured. Cristian Molinaro and Tiago are close to joining Vfb Stuttgart and Atletico Madrid, media reports have said.
