Inter aim for a fourth consecutive Serie A victory, but suffer a surprise injury crisis just before kick-off against Bologna.

The Nerazzurri appear to have found their feet after a very shaky start under Coach Frank de Boer, who admittedly did only take over two weeks before the season began.

They’ve won three Serie A fixtures in a row and are looking for a fourth, although Marcelo Brozovic remains frozen out for unprofessional behaviour.

There were some ugly surprises for De Boer, as both Joao Mario (lower back pain) and Jeison Murillo (tweaked muscle) were ruled out this morning by injury.

He had already planned to start 19-year-old Senna Miangue at left-back, so Andrea Ranocchia and Geoffrey Kondogbia came in.

Ever Banega returns from suspension to play with Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perisic behind Capocannoniere Mauro Icardi.

Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa is on the bench and could get his Inter debut.

Bologna have won all their home games and struggled on their travels, so want to turn that around.

It’s a familiar stadium to several players, as Mattia Destro started in the Inter academy and Simone Verdi was owned by Milan.

Federico Di Francesco is suspended with Umar Sadiq, Federico Viviano, Alfred Gomis and Antonio Mirante injured.

 

Inter: Handanovic; Santon, Ranocchia, Miranda, Miangue; Medel, Kondogbia; Candreva, Banega, Perisic; Icardi

Bologna: Da Costa; Krafth, Maietta, Gastaldello, Torosidis; Nagy, Taider, Dzemaili; Krejci, Destro, Verdi
