Inter Milan welcomes Hellas Verona to San Siro on Sunday morning for their matchday 37 clash.
After defeating Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final, Inter Milan completed their domestic double for the first time since 2010.
Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu enjoys a completely healthy squad for today’s match, with no injuries or suspensions reported.
Having already secured the Serie A title and lifted the Coppa Italia trophy in midweek, the Nerazzurri are expected to rotate their double-winning starting eleven.
Yann Sommer will return to guard the net, while veteran defender Francesco Acerbi is slated for his final San Siro appearance before his contract expires in June.
Wing-backs Luis Henrique and Carlos Augusto are projected to start over Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco to refresh the flanks.
In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is tipped to reclaim his spot alongside Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zieliński.
Up front, Ange-Yoan Bonny is expected to partner captain Lautaro Martínez, giving standard starters a well-earned rest in this celebratory home fixture.
Paolo Sammarco’s already-relegated Hellas Verona side enters the San Siro severely depleted by fitness and disciplinary issues.
The visitors are missing five key players due to injury, with Armel Bella-Kotchap, Cheikh Niasse, Daniel Oyegoke, Suat Serdar, and Daniel Mosquera all officially ruled out of the squad.
Furthermore, seven-goal top scorer Gift Orban remains excluded due to ongoing disciplinary reasons, leaving the manager with highly limited options to alter his starting lineup.
Lorenzo Montipò will start in goal behind a back three featuring Victor Nelsson, Andrias Edmundsson, and Nicolás Valentini.
In attack, midfielder Tomáš Suslov will operate just behind January signing Kieron Bowie.
Bowie, who has scored Verona’s last three away goals, will be heavily relied upon to shoulder the primary goal-scoring responsibilities against the champions.
Inter Milan approaches this fixture in scintillating form, riding a dominant unbeaten streak stretching back over two months. Fresh off capturing their 21st Scudetto with games to spare, the Nerazzurri extended their celebratory momentum in midweek by defeating Lazio 2-0 to capture the Coppa Italia. Chivu’s high-flying team also won their most recent league outings comfortably, breezing past Lazio 3-0 and Parma 2-0 to highlight their blistering offensive consistency.
Hellas Verona enters the San Siro in dismal shape, having already been mathematically relegated to Serie B. Paolo Sammarco’s struggling squad has endured an extraordinarily bleak run, collecting a mere two points from their previous eight fixtures while scoring just twice. Their recent outings ended in further disappointment, highlighted by a tight 1-1 draw away against Juventus followed immediately by a demoralising 1-0 home loss to Como.
Inter Milan: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Augosto; Bonny, L. Martinez
Hellas Verona: Montipo; Edmundsson, Nelsson, Valentini; Belghali, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, Bernede, Frese; Suslov; Bowie
