Wingback Nicola Zalewski could make his full debut for Inter Milan in Saturday’s Serie A match against Genoa.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908. They report that an injury to Carlos Augusto could hand the Pole his first start for the Nerazzurri.
