The Nerazzurri are without England internationals John Stones and Curtis Jones, who are recovering from injuries.

Inter coach Cristian Chivu rotated his squad in the previous match against Parma, leaving Lautaro Martinez, Barella and Bastoni on the bench, but the trio will return to the starting XI this evening.

According to several sources, including Gazzetta, Tuttosport and Sky Sport Italia, doubt remains in central midfield, where Aleksandar Stankovic competes with Hakan Calhanoglu for a starting spot.

Andy Diouf is expected to start at right midfield, but Djed Spence is available on the bench after his Inter debut against Parma last Saturday. Federico Dimarco will start on the opposite flank.

Italy-born striker Tresoldi will start for Club Brugge. The 22-year-old has dual Italian-German citizenship and will decide in 2027 which country to represent at a senior level.
