They were using wing-back Davide Bartesaghi as part of the back three in an unusual role, but were forced into another adjustment before kick-off.
Gabbia had originally been named in the starting XI and pulled out with muscular problems during the warm-up, so was replaced by Koni De Winter.
Just a few minutes into the match, Milan saw Loftus-Cheek collide heavily with Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi as they tried to reach an Alexis Saelemaekers rabona cross.
The England international midfielder came off considerably worse, as he had to be stretchered away with a head injury.

There was blood visible on his face, suggesting it is possibly a fractured cheekbone.
Loftus-Cheek was replaced by Ardon Jashari just 11 minutes into the game.
