Piotr Zielinski will return to the starting lineup in tonight’s pivotal Champions League clash between Inter Milan and Bodo/Glimt.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Polish superstar will take Hakan Calhanoglu’s place in the engine room.

Despite Zielinski’s superb form, Cristian Chivu decided to start him on the bench in the first leg.

However, it went awry for Inter, as Bodo/Glimt claimed a stunning 3-1 victory at the Aspmyra Stadion.

Chivu must have learned their lesson in Norway, as he plans to bring Zielinski back to the starting lineup this evening.

Indeed, Hakan Calhanoglu remains in the treatment room with a calf injury.

Therefore, the former Napoli star will deputize for the 32-year-old, occupying the role of a deep-lying playmaker.

After a pair of bleak showings against Bodo/Glimt and Lecce, Petar Sucic is likely to drop to the bench.

Instead, Henrikh Mkhitaryan could join Nicolo Barella and Zielinski in the middle of the park following an impressive cameo appearance at Via del Mare.
