With Romelu Lukaku suspended, Alexis Sanchez is expected to lead the line for Inter in the Coppa Italia Semi-Final first leg against Juventus on Tuesday.
Lukaku misses out after his booking in the aftermath of a heated argument with Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the 2-1 win over AC Milan in the Quarter-Final last week sees him serve a one-match ban.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, coach Antonio Conte will turn to Chile international Sanchez to partner Lautaro Martinez in attack, as Inter travel to the Allianz Stadium to face Juventus.
Similarly, right wing-back Achraf Hakimi sits the match out with a ban and is set to be replaced in the starting line-up by Matteo Darmian.
With Inter battling at the top of Serie A and set to take on Fiorentina on Friday, Conte is expected to make further changes to the team that beat Benevento 4-0 yesterday.
Stefan De Vrij will return to defence in place of Andrea Ranocchia, whilst Marcelo Brozovic and Arturo Vidal are likely to come in for Christian Eriksen and Roberto Gagliardini in midfield. Elsewhere, Ivan Perisic will drop to the bench as Ashley Young steps in on the left flank.
