Inter Milan veterans Alexis Sanchez and Marko Arnautovic are vying for a starting berth in Sunday night’s encounter against Cagliari.
The Nerazzurri are on the cusp of clinching their 20th league title. They’ll be looking to make the Isolani their latest victims on the road towards an imminent triumph.
However, Simone Inzaghi will be missing the services of Benjamin Pavard and Lautaro Martinez. Both players picked their fifth booking of the campaign in Monday’s dramatic win over Udinese.
So according to Sky Sport Italia via FcInterNews, Sanchez and Arnautovic are competing for a spot up front alongside Marcus Thuram.
The source believes that the odds are almost similar, with the Chilean emerging as the favorite, but by the slightest of margins (51%).
The report expects Inzaghi to render his final decision tomorrow, on the eve of the match.
On the other hand, Yann Bisseck has emerged as the ultimate candidate to replace Pavard at the back.
The German has been acting as the understudy of the 2018 World Cup winner since the start of the season. Therefore, he’ll be the natural candidate to replace the Frenchman while the latter serves a one-match ban.

On another note, Sky (via FcInterNews) reveals that Inzaghi finally had a full squad at his disposal in Friday’s training session.
Earlier this week, Alessandro Bastoni and Juan Cuadrado resumed training with their teammates.
Stefan de Vrij was the last missing member of the squad, as he was undergoing a personalized training regime.
Nevertheless, the Dutchman has overcome his physical problem and rejoined group training to complete the ranks.
