Lautaro Martinez returns to Inter‘s starting XI for a Serie A game against injury-hit Atalanta.
It kicks off at 20:45 (18:45 GMT) at the Stadio Meazza in San Siro, Milan.
Stefan de Vrij and Lautaro Martinez have returned from injuries and the Inter captain is expected to start in attack alongside Marcus Thuram.
Federico Dimarco is favourite over Carlo Augusto on the left wing, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan should push Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski to the bench again.
Atalanta have several players out of action due to injuries, while Ademola Lookman resumed training with the rest of the team only a couple of days ago, so he will likely start on the bench.
Giorgio Scalvini, Gianluca Scamacca, Sead Kolasinac, Isak Hien, Ibrahim Sulemana, Nicolò Zaniolo, Mitchel Bakker and new signing Odilon Kossounou are injured. Former Everton centre-back Ben Godfrey hasn’t settled in yet, so Gasp is expected to use Matteo Ruggeri in central defence with Davide Zappacosta on the left wing.
Lazar Samardzic fights for a starting spot with Marco Brescianini, while Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere start in attack.
