Inter star Lautaro Martinez could start on the bench in a home game against Lecce, making room for Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram in attack.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Stadio Meazza in Milan. It’s one of the four rescheduled Serie A Week 16 fixtures, which were not played in December when Inter, Napoli, Bologna and Milan were involved in the Supercoppa Italiana.
The Nerazzurri will take to the pitch after Napoli-Parma, which kicks off at 18:30 CET.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu is expected to rotate in attack and midfield, and will be forced to cope without Hakan Calhanoglu, who will remain out of action for nearly a month.
According to Gazzetta, Andy Diouf will start as a right midfielder while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Petar Sucic will compete for a starting spot in central midfield.
Sky Sport Italia claims that Pio Esposito and Bonny will start in attack, but according to Gazzetta, Chivu will pick Bonny and Thuram.
Lecce’s starters Kialonda Gaspar, Lameck Banda and Ylber Ramadani are suspended, while Francesco Camarda and Medon Berisha are injured.
According to Gazzetta, new signing Omri Gandelman will start as an attacking midfielder for the Salentini.
