Striker Lautaro Martinez, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and wingback Matteo Darmian are all set to start for Inter in their Champions League clash with Barcelona this evening.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, who also report that Joaquin Correa will come into the team in attack, and Stefan de Vrij in defense.

Martinez’s fitness for this evening’s match had been a doubt but he should be able to start, whilst Correa will take the place of Dzeko starting alongside the 25-year-old.

Meanwhile, in midfield Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to come in, taking the place of Kristjan Asllani in the midfield trio alongside Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.

In defense, de Vrij has missed the past three matches from the start as Francesco Acerbi has gotten a run of games, but the Dutchman should return to the starting lineup.

Lastly, on the right flank Matteo Darmian is set to take the place of Denzel Dumfries, whilst Federico Dimarco should start on the left.
