Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has his entire squad at his disposal on Thursday, but he’s still awaiting the return of Alexis Sanchez.
The Nerazzurri began their preparations for Sunday’s major showdown.
Juventus will host Inter at the Allianz Stadium in the first encounter after the international break.
Inzaghi was deprived of his main host during the stoppage, but the international stars have now returned to Appiano Gentile.
This includes club captain Lautaro Martinez and Carlos Augusto who made the long trip back from South America.
The two players were at the Maracana Stadium for the intense World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina earlier this week.
But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Alexis Sanchez is the only player yet to rejoin the squad.
Nevertheless, the source expects the Chilean to arrive at the training center on Friday.
The source also tips Inzaghi to unleash his strongest starting available line-up against Juventus.
