David Beckham will start on his home debut against Fiorentina in Serie A tomorrow, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

The 33-year-old England midfielder, on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy for two months, was a surprise starter in last weekend's 2-2 draw at AS Roma and did enough to convince the coach of his fitness, having not played competitively since October.

"Beckham will play from the first minute," Ancelotti told a news conference today.

Kaka is also expected to start the game for third-placed Milan despite the club and player considering an offer from Manchester City which media reports say is worth at least 100 million euros.
