The Italy international has seen his minutes on the pitch decrease this term, partly due to injuries as well as coach Leonardo's rotation policy.
"I am Rino Gattuso and I cannot wait for someone to get injured in order to play," Gattuso told Corriere dello Sport. "I would be lying if I said that everything is okay.
"At this time I am not happy because of the injury and the fact that I am not being used much.
"I still feel strong and I am disappointed not to be able to prove it.
"I don't accept the thought that I am no longer indispensable."
Gattuso, who is currently battling a muscle injury, has made just seven league appearances for the Rossoneri this campaign.
"I will have to talk to the club and with (AC Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani because its not nice that after 11 years at the club you play once in a while."
The 31-year-old has been with the Rossoneri since 1999 and was a crucial member of the Italy squad which won the 2006 World Cup.
Gattuso is hoping to make Marcello Lippi's 2010 World Cup squad.
"Lippi has assured me that even if I play less, there would still be a place in the World Cup squad for me," he said.
Gattuso is under contract with the Rossoneri until June 2011.

Arseneal (Arsenal fan)
"Can't imagine a more ideal January signing with Song's impending absence. Albeit from this it seems clear he'd complain if Song was getting in the team ahead of him, while should he be first choice after Song's return it'd certainly affect our man's progress which has been substantial of late. Certainly wouldn't be complaining if it happened though."
