Inter completely revamp their line-up for the Europa League opener as they welcome surprise outfit Hapoel Beer-Sheva to San Siro.

Frank de Boer finally got his first win on the Inter bench at the weekend thanks to a Mauro Icardi brace overturning Pescara 2-1 in stoppages.
However, the Coach has a reduced squad at his disposal for this tournament due to Financial Fair Play considerations, leaving Joao Mario, Gabigol, Stevan Jovetic and Geoffrey Kondogbia off the UEFA list.
On top of that, Ivan Perisic is out with a muscular problem that also leaves him potentially at risk for this Sunday’s Serie A clash with Juventus.
Icardi, Ever Banega and Antonio Candreva are among those rested, as Rodrigo Palacio leads the trident with Eder and Jonathan Biabiany.
Felipe Melo, Marcelo Brozovic and Andrea Ranocchia also get rare chances to shine.
Hapoel Beer-Sheva are a real surprise outfit, in May winning the Israeli League title for the first time in 40 years.
They very nearly qualified for the Champions League group phase, knocking out Olympiacos and coming very close to doing the same with Celtic.
Young Coach Barak Bakhar is forced to do without injured Roei Gordana, Mohamed Ghadir and above all forward Elyaniv Barda.
Inter: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Murillo, Nagatomo; Medel, Melo, Brozovic; Biabiany, Palacio, Eder
