Inter look to overturn a first leg deficit and reach the Coppa Italia Final when they take on Juventus on Tuesday, and coach Antonio Conte will turn to his key men, Italian media claim.
The Nerazzurri fell to defeat at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the first leg last week, as a Cristiano Ronaldo brace overturned Lautaro Martinez’s early opener.
Seeking a first appearance in the Final since lifting the trophy in 2011, Inter must defeat a Juventus side that have won four games in all competitions since losing to the Nerazzurri in Serie A in mid-January.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Corriere dello Sport, Conte will rely on three of his most dependable players as he looks for victory at the Allianz Stadium, starting with midfielder Nicolo Barella.
The Sardinian has been in scintillating form recently and netted against Fiorentina in Serie A on Friday, as well as in the league victory over Juventus last month. In the absence of the suspended Arturo Vidal, Corriere dello Sport expects Barella to be given more license to push forward and attack.
Similarly, Conte will look to right wing-back Achraf Hakimi after the Moroccan set up Ivan Perisic against the Viola, whilst striker Romelu Lukaku returns from suspension to lead the line in attack.
The Belgian has yet to score against Juventus for Inter and comes into the match in mixed form, but showed good link up play against Fiorentina last time out.
