Simone Inzaghi is intending to start the match against Sassuolo with Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez in attack, according to a report in the Italian media, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.

As has been reported today by Italian broadcaster Sky Sport, via FCInter1908, Edin Dzeko is likely to be given a rest against the Neroverdi given he has played almost the entirety of Inter’s recent intensive schedule against high quality opponents.

That includes the games against Napoli, AC Milan, and Liverpool. Simone Inzaghi will be hoping that Alexis Sanchez and Lautaro Martinez will be able to get the job done without Edin Dzeko needing to come off the bench and use up more of his energy.

Inter will also be without both Marcelo Brozovic and Alessandro Bastoni for the match as they are both suspended. That means Roberto Gagliardini and Federico Dimarcocould both play instead against Sassuolo.
