AC Milan coach Leonardo admits he's facing a goalkeeping selection dilemma after the international break.
Nelson Dida has been acting as No1 in the absence of crocked pair Christian Abbiati and Marco Storari, however, they are now nearing their return to full fitness.
Leonardo said: "They are very difficult choices.
"I need to consider many aspects and for a coach this is a difficult situation."
Further complicating matter is Corinthians' pursuit of Dida. The Brazilian giants are eager to sign the keeper in January.

Sell Dida to Corinthians. Simple. He's past his 2003-05 days. Abiatti is fine, I enjoyed his performances last season- Storari is a decent number two and Roma... I haven't really had chance to see his previous work. Don't really know why Milan bought him when they have Perrucchini from the Primavera as a reserve.
First of all, Storari is consistent but is not very good. He saves shots that goalkeepers are expected to save. He's also an I.D.I.O.T who injured himself for trying a scorpion kick BEFORE 3 big games that decided Leo's career and future.
Abbiatti is better and more consistent, but he is just OK and there's many keepers out there that are better than him.
Dida is inconsistent. When he is on top of his game, he is a better keeper than Storari and Abbiatti. But he has one good game and then a bad game. Too inconsistent, but makes great saves.
OMFG. Sell Dida. What is there to think about? He's a piece of shiite !!!
