AC Milan's malaise deepened in midweek, when they were beaten in Europe, and having also fallen off the pace in Serie A's Scudetto race they now seek maximum points against Frosinone on Saturday.
As the teams convene at San Siro, Milan have won just two of their last eight matches; meanwhile, their promoted visitors moved into the top half of the table with a dramatic victory over Genoa.
With Olivier Giroud suspended and other strikers either injured or short of form, 15-year-old forward Francesco Camarda also became the youngest player in Serie A history upon his arrival from the bench, but no sooner had the Rossoneri breathed a sigh of relief than their woes mounted higher.
Heading into their penultimate fixture of the Champions League group phase, Milan had clawed themselves back into contention with a vital win over Paris Saint-Germain, but in the second of three straight games at San Siro over a seven-day spell they came up short again on Tuesday.
Slipping to last place in this year's 'Group of Death', the hosts saw Giroud miss a penalty in the opening minutes, and even though Samu Chukwueze later scored his first goal for the club shortly before the break, they slipped to a 3-1 defeat against Group F leaders Borussia Dortmund.
