Antonio Conte To Name Strongest Inter XI For Derby D’Italia At Juventus, Italian Media Report

Antonio Conte will name his strongest possible Inter XI for tomorrow’s Derby d’Italia at Juventus, according to a report in the Italian media today.

Corriere dello Sport’s print edition said Conte had no doubt about his team selection for the big match at the Allianz Stadium, having rotated his squad for the games against Sampdoria and Roma.

Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni will return to Inter’s defence while Achraf Hakimi and Christian Eriksen are due to come back into midfield.

Lautaro Martinez will partner Romelu Lukaku in attack, meanwhile, with Alexis Sanchez dropping to the bench as he recovers from an ankle sprain.

Aleksandar Kolarov and Arturo Vidal remain unavailable, with the Serbian defender yesterday undergoing surgery to remove a herniated disc.

Inter’s probable starting XI vs Juventus (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic, Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Achraf Hakimi, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Christian Eriksen, Ivan Perisic, Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez.
