Gabbia suffered the injury during the warm-up for last week's game against Parma and is recovering slower than expected. Manager Massimiliano Allegri may pair Fikayo Tomori and Koni De Winter in defense as a result.
Other absentees include Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Santiago Gimenez. The Rossoneri aim to bounce back after a defeat that allowed league leaders Inter to extend their lead by ten points.
