Inter midfielder Roberto Gagliardini will be available for Simone Inzaghi when the team face Sampdoria next weekend, according to a report in the Italian media today.

As has been reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian will be available to help the squad for the first time this season after a period of time out injured.

It is highly unlikely that the ex-Atalanta man will be starting the game against Sampdoria because he is not seen as a key part of the squad.

That being said, Simone Inzaghi will be very happy to have more options in the middle of the park when he needs to rotate.

With the Champions League group stage fixtures fast approaching, Simone Inzaghi will need to find the perfect balance when rotating his midfield options so that his players stay fresh later in the season when the really big games start to come around.
