In midfield, Inter receive a significant boost as Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu have both returned to full training in recent days following their respective muscle and calf issues, and are expected to be available for selection for the Derby d’Italia.

Barella is regarded as slightly likelier than Calhanoglu to be named in the starting XI, with Cristian Chivu seeing this game as a perfect opportunity to re‑establish his preferred midfield ahead of next week’s crucial Champions League play‑off encounter with Bodø/Glimt.

On the flanks, Denzel Dumfries is back in partial training after ankle surgery and three months on the sidelines, but he is still working his way back to peak condition and is not forecast to start; at most, he is expected to be included among the substitutes.

In his pre‑match comments, Chivu has highlighted Juventus’ progress under Luciano Spalletti and stressed that Inter must “show the same determination we’ve had over the last two months” while keeping their composure amid the intense atmosphere that always surrounds the Derby d’Italia.
