Inter coach Antonio Conte will make at least one change to his starting line-up for Sunday’s Serie A match away to Torino, according to an Italian media report today.

As per Corriere dello Sport’s print edition, the former Italian national team coach will bring Christian Eriksen back into the XI in place of Arturo Vidal, who is due to be out for around a month after undergoing knee surgery this morning.

Conte does have one selection doubt ahead of the match against the struggling Granata, as he remains undecided on whether to keep Lautaro Martinez in the starting line-up or replace him with Alexis Sanchez.

In addition to Vidal’s injury, Inter will also be without Aleksandar Kolarov for their trip to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino as the Serbian has a thigh problem.

Conte’s side will be looking to extend their six-point lead at the top of Serie A on Sunday, with Juventus and AC Milan both playing after the Nerazzurri this weekend.

Inter’s probable starting line-up vs Torino (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Eriksen, Perisic; Lukaku, Lautaro.
