Inter coach Luciano Spalletti is to stick with the side that started in last Tuesday’s win over Sampdoria in the Serie A according to Inter’s official television channel, InterTV.

Rumours in the media had suggested that Spalletti would in fact stick with the side and Inter TV have confirmed this alongside the fact that Marcelo Brozovic would be returning to the bench. Brozovic has been sidelined for close to a month with a calf injury and missed the Milan derby, the draw against Napoli and the aforementioned victory over Sampdoria.

Samir Handanovic, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Milan Skriniar, Miranda and Yuto Nagatomo will make up the defence. Roberto Gagliardini and Matias Vecino will remain together in the midfield two while Borja Valero is deployed in a more advanced role, sandwiched in between Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva who will occupy the wings. Captain Mauro Icardi will of course start up top on his own.
