Inter Milan head to Rotterdam on Tuesday night for their UEFA Champions League group-stage clash with Feyenoord, looking to recover after a painful derby defeat.
The Nerazzurri arrive following a disappointing 3-1 loss to AC Milan, though their recent form had been strong before that setback. They had won four matches in a row, beating Fiorentina, Venezia, and Bologna domestically. In Europe, their results have also fluctuated: after a wild 4-3 defeat to Club Brugge, they responded with a hard-fought 1-0 win at home over Shakhtar Donetsk.
Inter Milan team news
Inter’s preparations have been badly disrupted by injuries and suspensions following the derby loss. Coach Cristian Chivu has several major absences to manage.
Lautaro Martínez will miss the game entirely because of a hamstring problem, weakening Inter’s attack. In defence, Alessandro Bastoni is suspended after picking up a red card earlier in the competition, while John Stones, Benjamin Pavard, Curtis Jones, and wing-back Luis Henrique are unavailable through injury.
As a result, Josep Martínez is likely to keep goal behind an improvised three-man defence featuring Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, and Carlos Augusto. Up front, Marcus Thuram is set to partner young striker Esposito as Inter try to secure an important away result.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Josep Martínez; Bisseck, Akanji, Carlos Augusto; Diouf, Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Zieliński, Dimarco; Esposito, Thuram.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Tuesday, 3rd November.
