Champions League: Inter vs Arsenal – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi is expected to make a handful of rotations to his Inter side when an injury-struck Arsenal visit San Siro in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

According to pre-match reports, the Nerazzurri coach could opt to rest the likes of Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella and Marcus Thuram ahead of the top-of-the-table clash against current Serie A leaders Napoli at the weekend.

Inter are expected to go with a strike partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi, which has been the case in all of their Champions League matches thus far in 2024-25.

Alessandro Bastoni could also be given a rest at the back. His natural deputy is Yann Bisseck. Stefan De Vrij is likely to start, though Francesco Acerbi is available again, while Benjamin Pavard could start on the right of the back three.

There could also be Champions League opportunities for Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski in midfield, while Hakan Calhanoglu could get his first start after his recent injury lay-off.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are without England international Declan Rice, who did not travel with the squad on precautionary measures. Martin Odegaard trained on Tuesday after missing Arsenal’s last 12 matches, but it is likely to be too soon for him to start.

Italy international Riccardo Calafiori remains out, so Jurrien Timber is the expected starter at left-back.

Kick-off is set for 20.00 GMT.
