Inter Milan will aim to stay at the summit of Serie A when they visit Venezia for their next league fixture on Wednesday.
The defending champions come into the match in outstanding shape, still unbeaten in the league after seven victories and one draw. Inter possess the division’s strongest attack, having scored 23 goals, and Cristian Chivu’s side have claimed wins in four of their previous five games in all competitions. They returned to first place in dramatic style last weekend, coming from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1 thanks to Piotr Zielinski’s stoppage-time strike in the 98th minute.
Inter Milan team news
Lautaro Martinez is definitely unavailable after picking up a hamstring injury during the match against Club Brugge, creating a major gap in Inter’s forward line.
Chivu is also short of options at the back and in midfield, with Benjamin Pavard, John Stones, and Curtis Jones all ruled out as they work their way back to full fitness.
Wing-back Luis Henrique will be sidelined until the November international break because of an adductor strain.
With rotation expected to preserve the fitness of key players, Marcus Thuram may be left on the substitutes’ bench. That could give young attackers Pio Esposito and Ange Bonny the chance to lead the line in a heavily changed 3-5-2 formation, as Inter continue their pursuit of another Serie A title.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: J. Martinez; Bisseck, Akanji, Augusto; Spence, Sucic, A. Stankovic, Zielinski, Dimarco; Bonny, Esposito
