Serie A: Lecce vs. Inter – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny compete for a starting spot in the Inter attack for an away Serie A game at Lecce.

It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT) at the Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce.

The Nerazzurri must cope without their injured star Lautaro Martinez, who has been ruled out for approximately a month due to a calf injury.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella are suspended, Denzel Dumfries is injured, so Cristian Chivu is short of options in midfield.

According to Gazzetta, Andy Diouf will likely start in central midfield alongside Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi, but Sky claims Petar Sucic will start instead of Diouf.

Marcus Thuram will surely start up front for the Nerazzurri with either Pio Esposito or Bonny partnering with the France international.

According to Gazzetta, Carlos Augusto will replace Alessandro Bastoni in central defence as the Italian will rest ahead of next week’s Champions League decider against Bodo/Glimt.
