Inter Milan wingbacks Matteo Darmian and Denzel Dumfries are competing for a starting berth against AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.
The Rossoneri and the Nerazzurri will lock horns at San Siro on what will be a special Monday evening.
Simone Inzaghi’s men will have the opportunity to clinch the Scudetto title with a victory over their arch-rivals.
The 48-year-old manager also received a timely boost, as he’ll have an entire squad to choose from.
The coach gave his players two days of rest following Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Cagliari. The squad then resumed training on Wednesday, with all the senior players available at Inzaghi’s disposal.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri boss only has one selection dilemma ahead of the Derby.
He will have to choose between Darmian and Dumfries on the right wing.
The Dutchman started the campaign on a great note but lost his starting berth following an injury in December. Since then, the Italian veteran has become Inzaghi’s favorite choice as right wingback.
Nevertheless, the Roman newspaper considers Dumfries as the more likely to get the nod on Monday.
As the source explains, the 27-year-old often produces the goods in the Derby della Madonnina. Therefore, the manager could decide to resort to his services.

Elsewhere, the report expects Inzaghi to maintain his usual best lineup. Club captain Lautaro Martinez will return to the starting formation after serving a one-match ban against Cagliari. He will link up with Marcus Thuram upfront.
The same goes for Benjamin Pavard who should resume his duties at the back alongside Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.
Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanolgu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan remain the ultimate options in the middle of the park, while Federico Dimarco occupies the left flank.
