Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi is set to go with Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez as the starting pair in attack in next weekend’s Champions League round of sixteen first leg match against Porto.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who report that one of the pair is likely to be benched against Udinese in view of Wednesday’s clash, with Romelu Lukaku to start tomorrow’s match.

Next Wednesday’s Champions league match against Porto is now less than a week away.

Inter coach Inzaghi’s plans for that match are starting to firm up, and the coach is thinking about how to balance it with the team’s league commitments.

According to the Gazzetta, the coach’s mind is all but made up that Dzeko and Martinez will be the pair to start against the Portuguese Champions.

Accordingly, Lukaku will start against Udinese tomorrow, to give one of the duo a rest.
