All five Italian stars, including Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella, Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi, and Francesco Pio Esposito are back from international duty.

Furthermore, Lautaro Martinez returned home over the weekend after helping Argentina beat Angola 2-0 last Friday.

Meanwhile, Hakan Calhanoglu, Petar Sucic, and Piotr Zielinski have also joined the rest of the team.

Therefore, only Manuel Akanji is missing, but he should be back by tomorrow morning.

On the other hand, Inter will likely be without Denzel Dumfries, who’s still struggling with an ankle injury.
