Kevin Prince-Boateng is set to play a starring role on Sunday when Sassuolo welcome AC Milan at the Mapei Stadium.

The 31 year old was rested in Sassuolo UD's 2-0 win over SPAL on Thursday as a precaution to ensure he is in tip top condition for the crucial league encounter with the Rossoneri.

The Ghanaian international is however expected to make a return to the starting line-up against a club where he made his mark, between 2010 and 2013- he won the Scudetto with Milan in 2011.

Boateng has been sensational since joining the Neroverdi this summer, he has scored 3 goals in 5 league appearances and was also on target in the 5-1 demolishion of Ternara in the third round of the Italian Cup .
