Inter are still unbeaten in Serie A this season, while Sassuolo collected four points from their last Serie A games.
Pedro Obiang is out of action due to pneumonia while Gianluca Scamacca is still waiting for his first Serie A start this season. Alessio Dionisi will either pick he or Giacomo Raspadori up front with both players who were linked with a move to Inter in the summer and are still on the Nerazzurri’s radars.
Simone Inzaghi must cope without Stefano Sensi, while Edin Dzeko could start on the bench. If that’s the case, Joaquin Correa will partner Lautaro Martinez up front.
Either Denzel Dumfries or Matteo Darmian could start at right wing-back and one between Ivan Perisic and Federico Dimarco will get the nod on the left.
