Inter Milan and Bodo/Glimt face off in a UEFA Champions League knockout play-off on Wednesday night, with the Norwegian side hosting the Italian giants at Aspmyra Stadion in Bodo.
Inter make the trip to Norway in outstanding form. Cristian Chivu’s side sit top of Serie A, with an eight-point cushion, after a strong run of league results that has underlined their reputation as one of the most complete teams in Europe.
They head into this tie on a six-match winning run in all competitions, having most recently edged Juventus 3-2 in a dramatic encounter.
Inter Milan team news
The visitors will be without midfield pair Hakan Calhanoglu and Davide Frattesi for the first leg. Both are ruled out due to injury issues.
Calhanoglu is sidelined by a muscle problem sustained in Serie A action, while Frattesi is also unavailable as he continues to deal with physical discomfort.
Right wing-back Denzel Dumfries is nearing a return following ankle surgery but is expected to be managed carefully and may only be among the substitutes, meaning Luis Henrique is likely to keep his place on the right flank.
Up front, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are set to start together again. Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are expected to take on creative duties in midfield to compensate for Calhanoglu’s absence.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI:Â Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Zielinski, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 18th February.
