Inter Milan stars Alexis Sanchez and Yann Bisseck should get the nod in Sunday’s league fixture against Cagliari.
The Nerazzurri will host the Sardinians at San Siro in the 32nd matchday of Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi’s men will be gunning for a routine, yet important win that puts them on one step away from mathematically clinching the Scudetto title.
The Beneamata would then have to seal the deal against crosstown rivals AC Milan on April 22nd.
However, the Inter coach will be without the services of Benjamin Pavard and club captain Lautaro Martinez. Both players collected their fifth booking of the season on Monday against Udinese.
So according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Sanchez and Bisseck will step up to replace the suspended duo.
The Chilean veteran should support Marcus Thuram up front. The former Barcelona and Arsenal star is the favorite for the role, ahead of Marko Arnautovic.
As the backline, Bisseck has been acting as Pavard’s understudy since the start of the season. Therefore, the German should line up alongside Francesco Acerbi and the returning Alessandro Bastoni in the three-man defense

Moreover, Matteo Darmian should maintain his role on the right flank, thus keeping Denzel Dumfries on the bench.
Finally, the source reveals that Inzaghi is still coy on Henrikh Mkhitaryan who is one booking away from suspension.
The Armenian veteran has been ever-present in the starting lineup over the last 19 fixtures. But due to the risk of missing the Milan Derby through suspension, the manager could decide to drop him against Cagliari.
In this case, Davide Frattesi would gain a starting slot in the middle of the park alongside Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.
