Inter entered November’s international break sitting second in Serie A following a 1-1 home draw against Napoli.

However, unbeaten in ten consecutive games in all competitions, they’ve spent the two-week hiatus in a buoyant mood.

Indeed, besides their domestic resurgence, Inzaghi’s men have reigned supreme in the UEFA Champions League.

A hard-fought 1-0 home triumph against Arsenal last time out solidified Inter’s bid to secure automatic knockout qualification.

Despite heavily rotating his squad in the opening four European fixtures, Inzaghi has yet to lose on the continental front.

By contrast, Inter have excelled. They’ve picked up ten out of 12 available points.

Furthermore, they’re among a handful of teams yet to concede a goal at Europe’s top table this season.

Carlos Augusto’s return to the fold after a month on the sidelines comes as a boost for Inter.

However, it’s not all rosy after Hakan Calhanoglu suffered a minor injury concern for Turkey.

Therefore, the 30-year-old could make way for Kristjan Asllani in the upcoming game against Verona.

Lautaro Martinez will be the last Inter star to return from the break.

As such, Inzaghi could bench him at the Bentegodi in favor of Mehdi Taremi.

If that’s the case, Martinez should start in Inter’s European clash against Leipzig.

Meanwhile, Federico Dimarco should retain his place in the starting XI against Verona.

He should surrender his spot to Carlos Augusto in the Champions League.

Further changes could come in the engine room.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella may swap places with Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi.
