Inter coach Antonio Conte could opt to rest Achraf Hakimi and Arturo Vidal in tomorrow’s Serie A match away to Udinese, according to an Italian media report today.

As per Gazzetta dello Sport’s print edition, Conte will field a reliable starting XI at the Dacia Arena but he will also have one eye on Tuesday’s match against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.

Reports last night suggested Conte would name an unchanged XI against Udinese following last week’s Derby d’Italia victory over Juventus, but the Milan-based news outlet said Matteo Darmian and Roberto Gagliardini could come into the side.

The rest of the XI should be as expected, with Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez continuing to lead the line up front.

Udinese versus Inter is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 local time on Saturday.

Probable Inter starting line-up vs Udinese (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Gagliardini, Young; Lukaku, Lautaro.
