Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is set to start against Spezia in Friday evening’s Serie A away match, with Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi still working out what his best attack is.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who suggest that the coach still only has Lautaro Martinez in reliably good form heading into next week’s massive Champions League encounter with Porto.

Martinez has been virtually untouchable in the Inter team since the winter break, with the Argentine continuing his fine goalscoring form with his strike against Lecce on Sunday in addition to his emerging leadership qualities.

The story is very different for Lukaku and Edin Dzeko, however.

In the case of the former, the Belgian did have a decisive impact from the bench in the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen tie against Porto, scoring the match’s only goal to give his team an advantage heading into the second leg.

However, more muted performances starting against Bologna and then off the bench against Lecce have made it clear that the 29-year-old is still not at his best.

Meanwhile, Dzeko has also been struggling for goals and not looked quite the presence in attack that he had done prior to the winter break.

For Inzaghi, there will be a real conundrum in attack heading into next Tuesday’s enormously important match away to Porto.

The coach will give the start to Lukaku on Friday, in the hopes of seeing what kind of form the Belgian is in, and this could be decisively in what the attacking plan is for the Nerazzurri’s trip to Portugal.
