Christian Eriksen will keep his place in Inter’s starting XI for Sunday’s match against Genoa, according to an Italian media report today.
Antonio Conte’s side will be looking to extend their lead at the top of Serie A when they host the Rossoblu, following last weekend’s derby victory against AC Milan.
Gazzetta dello Sport said Conte would name an unchanged Nerazzurri side for the game at San Siro, with the exception of Achraf Hakimi who misses the match through suspension.
Ashley Young and Matteo Darmian are vying to replace the Moroccan international at right wing-back, with a report elsewhere on Thursday claiming the Italian was favourite.
Young has fallen behind Ivan Perisic in the pecking order at left wing-back and is now hoping to get back into the team on the opposite side.
Romelu Lukaku, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic and Alessandro Bastoni, meanwhile, are all expected to start against Davide Ballardini’s side, despite all four being one booking from a suspension.
Stefano Sensi’s condition will be monitored in the next 48 hours to determine whether he can be available on Sunday, having missed the Derby della Madonnina with muscular fatigue.
