Inter manager Antonio Conte could be without as many as six players for tomorrow night’s Europa League round of 32 first leg match away to reigning Bulgarian champions Ludogorets according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.
Roberto Gagliardini, Stefano Sensi, Sebastiano Esposito, Kwadwo Asamoah and Alessandro Bastoni are all certain to miss out due to injury whilst it remains to be seen whether Samir Handanovic will even travel.
The Inter captain has been dealing with a hairline fracture in the small finger in his left hand and he is nearing a recovery and could therefore stay put in Milan to continue his recovery and get himself ready for a possible return against Sampdoria this weekend.
The report from the Milan based newspaper goes on to state that Conte is likely to make a lot of changes to the side for the match in Razgard. Victor Moses and Cristiano Biraghi will both return to the starting line-up as will Christian Eriksen.
Romelu Lukaku could be rested for the match and if this is the case, Alexis Sanchez will partner Lautaro Martinez in attack.
