Inter return to Serie A action against Cremonese, with Cristian Chivu preparing changes to his starting eleven, with reports claiming Ange-Yoan Bonny will start with Lautaro Martinez in attack.

The Nerazzurri are chasing another win to maintain momentum but squad rotation is expected as the schedule intensifies.

According to Sky Sport, Ange-Yoan Bonny is in line to start alongside Lautaro Martinez, stepping in for the injured Marcus Thuram.

The French forward has shown promise in recent outings and now looks set for his first start at San Siro.

At the back, Chivu is considering resting Alessandro Bastoni.

Carlos Augusto is tipped to join Francesco Acerbi and Manuel Akanji in defence.

Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco are expected to feature on the flanks.

Meanwhile Hakan Calhanoglu should retain his role in midfield.

Furthermore, Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are both set to return to the starting side.

Chivu hopes this will provide balance and experience in the centre of the pitch.

In goal, Chivu will likely choose Yann Sommer, continuing the alternation with Josep Martinez.

Probable Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Bonny.
