The Dutch midfielder is expected to start, while the Argentine winger will likely be on the bench, making way for Francisco Conceiçao and Kenan Yildiz on the wings.
Andrea Cambiaso is still not fully fit, so Weston McKennie is the favorite to start at left-back for the Old Lady.
Fiorentina are without Edoardo Bove and Cristiano Biraghi and will start former Juventus striker Kean, scorer of 10 goals in 15 Serie A matches this season.
Robin Gosens is favored against Fabiano Parisi at left-back, while Riccardo Sottil and Lucas Beltran fight for a starting place at left-winger.
The Allianz Stadium clash will be broadcast live on OneFootball in the UK and Paramount+ in the US. If you are in Italy, you can watch the match on DAZN, Sky Calcio, Sky Sport and Now TV.
