Simone Inzaghi is expected to name a strong Nerazzurri line-up when Inter play Empoli away in Serie A’s early-evening kick off on Wednesday,
The Nerazzurri could welcome Hakan Calhanoglu back into the fold against Empoli, but the Türkiye international is not expected to start, which means that either Piotr Zielinski or Kristjan Asllani will start in the middle of Inzaghi’s midfield three.
Back from the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday evening, Lautaro Martinez is expected to start in attack alongside the club’s leading goalscorer this season, Marcus Thuram.
Kick-off at the Castellani is due at 17.30 GMT.
Probable line-ups
Empoli (3-5-2): Vásquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Henderson, Grassi, Fazzini, Pezzella; Solbakken, Colombo.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram.
