Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is expected to return to the starting line-up for tomorrow’s Serie A match against Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

According to Italian television broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, and as reported by FCInterNews.it, the Belgium international will be rewarded for his match-winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League with a starting spot.

Coach Simone Inzaghi will make changes to the team that won on Wednesday in order to maintain the fitness of his squad, with today’s training session indicating a start for Stefan De Vrij at centre-back, whilst Denzel Dumfries could come in for Matteo Darmian at wingback.

Lukaku is likely to replace Edin Dzeko in attack, although it is yet to be confirmed whether the Bosnian or Lautaro Martinez will drop to the bench for the clash against the Rossoblu.

Meanwhile, Inter are looking to avoid dropping points immediately after an important victory, having drawn against Monza after beating Napoli, and losing to Empoli just days after lifting the Supercoppa Italiana.
