Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram start up front for Inter in their Champions League test against Slavia Prague on Tuesday night, while Petar Sucic starts in midfield alongside HAkan Calhanolgu and Piotr Zielinski.
Kick-off is due at 20.00 BST.
You can follow the action from tonight’s match as it unfolds on the Football Italia Liveblog.
Cristian Chivu has a fit and available squad at his disposal for tonight’s European clash. There had been some doubts surrounding Ange-Yoan Bonny earlier this week, but the Frenchman was unlikely to start over Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram regardless.
Chivu confirmed during his pre-match press conference that Yann Sommer would return in goal, having given an opportunity to Josep Martinez during the 2-0 win over Cagliari in Serie A this weekend.
The Swiss veteran will be protected by a back three comprising Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.
Petar Sucic starts alongside Hakan Calhanoglu and Piotr Zielinski in midfield, meaning rests for Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
