Edin Dzeko will partner Lautaro Martinez in Inter‘s attack, while Paulo Dybala is expected to start on the bench in tonight’s Supercoppa Italiana showdown.
It kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
This is the tenth year in a row that Juventus feature in the Supercoppa, while the Nerazzurri haven’t played it in the last ten years. The Bianconeri have won it nine times in their history, Inter five.
Simone Inzaghi can rely on full squad and Denzel Dumfries is the favourite to start at right wing-back over Matteo Darmian.
Why Szczesny can feature for Juventus in Supercoppa Italiana against Inter
Massimiliano Allegri has Aaron Ramsey out of action due to COVID and Federico Chiesa ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Leonardo Bonucci and Danilo are available but not fit to start. Mattia Perin will start in goal with Wojciech Szczesny on the bench.
The former Arsenal man got the first dose of COVID vaccine less than two weeks ago and will be allowed to join the team minutes before the kick-off and only after receiving a negative swab test.
Probable Supercoppa line-ups:
Inter (3-5-2): Handanovic, Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic, L. Martinez, Dzeko.
Juventus (4-3-3): Perin, De Sciglio, Rugani, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Rabiot, Locatelli, McKennie; Bernardeschi, Morata, Kulusevski.
how.. does… Rabiot keep getting a game? He never plays well
Min muncher. No one else is fit.
