Luciano Spalletti could hand Lautaro Martinez his chance to start for Inter, in tonight’s crucial game with PSV.
The Nerazzurri will qualify for the Last 16 of the Champions League if they better Tottenham Hotspur’s result at Camp Nou.
Barcelona have already won the group and have nothing to play for, so in practice the Beneamata must win and hope Spurs don’t.
Matias Vecino isn’t in the squad for tonight’s game, and while Radja Nainggolan is back he’s expected to be fit only for the bench.

Matias Vecino isn’t in the squad for tonight’s game, and while Radja Nainggolan is back he’s expected to be fit only for the bench.
According to Sky, Martinez could be given a chance from the start, either behind Mauro Icardi or alongside him in an orthodox 4-4-2.
The alternative would be to push Kwadwo Asamoah into midfield, forming a three-man midfield alongside Borja Valero and Marcelo Brozovic.
Joao Mario and Roberto Gagliardini aren’t in the Champions League squad, so the latter two are the only real central midfield options.
PSV are already eliminated, and have nothing but pride to play for at San Siro.
Probable formations:
Inter: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, de Vrij, Skriniar, Asamoah; Borja Valero, Brozovic; Politano, Lautaro Martinez, Perisic; Icardi
PSV: Zoet; Dumfries, Schwaab, Viergever, Angelino; Rosario, Hendrix; Lozano, Pereiro, Bergwijn; De Jong
