Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is becoming more and more likely to start for the Nerazzurri in tomorrow evening’s Champions League round of sixteen tie against Porto.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, who report that the 29-year-old is increasingly likely to start the match ahead of Edin Dzeko, whilst Hakan Calhanoglu is favourite to start in midfield ahead of Marcelo Brozovic.

Lukaku started against Udinese on Saturday, as did Dzeko.

Lautaro Martinez was given a rest from the start against the Friulani, with the expectation being that the Argentine will certainly start against Porto tomorrow.

According to Sky, based on the last couple training sessions, it is looking more and more like it will be Lukaku starting alongside him tomorrow, although there is still tomorrow’s training session to consider.

Meanwhile, Sky reports that defender Milan Skriniar and goalkeeper Andre Onana will both return to Inter’s starting eleven tomorrow after having been rested against Udinese over the weekend.
