Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi will both return to Inter’s starting XI for their Serie A match away to Fiorentina tomorrow, according to an Italian media report today.

As per Corriere dello Sport’s print edition, the Belgian striker and Moroccan wing-back will be back in Antonio Conte’s line-up after missing Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg defeat at home to Juventus through suspension.

Hakimi will replace Matteo Darmian while Lukaku will reclaim his spot in attack from Alexis Sanchez, a player Conte is reportedly unhappy with as far as his goal return this season is concerned.

Ivan Perisic will also come back into the starting line-up to replace Ashley Young at left wing-back.

Conte’s XI will otherwise remain unchanged from the Derby d’Italia in midweek, for the match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence.

Probable Inter starting line-up (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Vidal, Perisic; Lukaku, Lautaro.
