Matteo Politano will be tasked with leading the line for Inter tomorrow in their Europa League round of 16 second leg match at home to Eintracht Frankfurt according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

Due to Lautaro Martinez’s suspension and Mauro Icardi’s continued absence, Inter are without a recognised striker for the match against the German side where it is still all to play for after a goalless draw in the first leg.

In the recent thrashing of Rapid Vienna, Inter boss Luciano Spalletti tried the Italian international as a striker and Politano repaid the faith shown in him by notching a goal in the 4-0 win.

The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that Keita Balde may replace him at some point during the second half.

The Senegalese has been out of action for well over a month now and is not quite up to scratch when it comes to match fitness.
