Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will start for Inter against Torino tonight in the final game of Serie A Week 1.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri need the three points to reply to Napoli and Juventus, who won on their debut against Sassuolo and Parma respectively.
The suspended Hakan Calhanoglu and Pio Esposito are unavailable for Inter, while Torino have travelled to Milan without the injured Ardian Ismajli and Perr Schuurs.
As reported by Sky and other prominent Italian media, Inter coach Chivu will largely rely on last season’s ideal XI, except for Petar Sucic replacing Calhanoglu in central midfield. Sucic already made his Inter debut during the Club World Cup earlier this summer, same as Luis Henrique.
The other summer signings, Andy Diouf and Ange-Yoan Bonny will start on the bench for Inter.
Scotland international Ché Adams is expected to lead the Torino attack, joined by Nikola Vlasic and Cyril Ngonge on the wings.
