El Fenomeno has yet to play this season due to a knee injury riddle that had showed no signs of ending.
The 31-year-old has had his return to fitness repeatedly delayed but he finally resumed first team training with the rest of his team-mates earlier this week.
Ronaldo had declared in the days leading up to Milan's 0-0 draw with Torino yesterday that he was now fit to play, a fact he confirmed in an interview just before the game.
“I was hoping to play tonight,” the Brazilian star admitted. “I am fit now and it is up to the Coach to decide when to use me.”
Ronaldo has still not played in the Champions League for Milan, as he was ineligible to play in last season's competition following his move from Real Madrid in January.
Other Rossoneri team news for the trip to Ukraine is that goalkeeper Nelson Dida returns from suspension and Massimo Oddo is fit enough again after injury. However Emerson and Marek Jankulovski are still sidelined.
Milan squad: Dida, Kalac, Fiori; Bonera, Cafu, Favalli, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Serginho, Simic; Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Pirlo, Seedorf; Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ronaldo, Kakà.
