Coppa Italia: Inter vs Udinese – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

While rotating most of his team, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is expected to maintain a couple of regular starters in his line-up against Udinese in Coppa Italia.

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

The Nerazzurri coach could change as many as eight men from their 6-0 thrashing of Lazio last Sunday, but Hakan Calhanoglu and Alessandro Bastoni should both be included in the starting XI, according to Sky Sport Italia.

Yann Bisseck is also set to feature in defence, with Matteo Darmian completing the back-three – Summer signing Josep Martinez will eventually get his first start since joining from Genoa.

Inzaghi should line up Marko Arnautovic and Mehdi Taremi up front, with Joaquin Correa initially on the bench.

Nicolò Barella will be unavailable for the hosts, with Davide Frattesi set to take his place in midfield, while Carlos Augusto will replace Federico Dimarco as a left-wing.

Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić is expected to give 21-year-old goalkeeper Edoardo Piana his first-team debut with the Bianconeri, with Iker Bravo favoured to flank Lorenzo Lucca in the visitors’ attacking duo.
