Champions League: Inter vs RB Leipzig – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu look set to take their place back in the starting line-up as the Nerazzurri host RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the San Siro in Milan.

The Argentine international missed his side’s emphatic 5-0 win at Verona last weekend with flu-like symptoms but is expected to return and flank Mehdi Taremi in attack.

Calhanoglu has also recovered from the slight injury picked up during the international break and should be fully fit to start in Simone Inzaghi‘s midfield trio, flanked by Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski.

Francesco Acerbi’s new injury will also force the coach to once again rely on Stefan De Vrij as a centre-back.

Dimarco is also certain of a spot as a left wing-back after being fully rested against Verona, while Barella, Alessandro Bastoni and Yan Sommer are the only players who should start their second consecutive match.

The Nerazzurri are still unbeaten in the Champions League and are one of the only two teams who haven’t conceded a goal yet, and another win against the German outfit would see them extremely well-positioned to get direct access to the round-of-16.
