Red Star players set off for Milan today, where they will play the rematch in the Round of 32 of Europa League, starting on Thursday at 9 pm.

The red-and-whites are heading to San Siro with serious problems in defense, because Nemanja Milunovic and Milan Rodic have been suspended, while Erakovic is missing from the squad due to injury, so coach Dejan Stankovic has only four defensive players at his disposal.

What certainly makes Red Star fans happy is the return of Aleksandar Katai, who received a doctor's permission to play and is among the passengers who departed for Milan today, and there is also Mirko Ivanic, who was suspected not to be able to play due to injury.

Veljko Nikolic has recovered and could also make it to the team, as well as Filippo Falco, who complained about injury in Subotica during the last Serbian league game Red Star played there.

Red Star fans sent their favorites off to Italy near Sava Center by gathering on a highway overpass, setting off smoke bombs and fireworks, wishing the team luck in that way.

The first game in Belgrade ended in a 2-2 draw.
