Inter are without the Belgian forward in Madrid but have recovered Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to start on the bench tonight, with Perisic pushed up to join Lautaro in attack.

Achraf Hakimi and Ashley Young start out wide in Conte’s 3-4-1-2, with Arturo Vidal and Marcelo Brozovic in the middle of the park and Nicolò Barella behind the two centre-forwards.

Danilo D’Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni seem set to start in the back-three, ahead of Samir Handanovic in goal.

Zinedine Zidane struggles with absentees too. Eder Militao has tested positive for coronavirus and Lucas Vazquez should start over Marcelo at right-back in a 4-3-3 formation.

Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos are expected in the heart of the defence, with Ferland Mendy at left-back.

In the midfield trident, we should see Federico Valverde, Casemiro and Toni Kroos, with Luka Modric starting on the bench.

Eden Hazard has returned for Los Blancos and should start at left in attack, with Karim Benzema in the middle and Marco Asensio at right.

Real Madrid (probable): Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Hazard

Inter (probable): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Vidal, Brozovic, Young; Barella; Lautaro, Perisic

Referee: Turpin (FRA)
