For the Udinese match, Cristian Chivu must also cope without several injured players.

Hakan Calhanoglu remains sidelined, as do Denzel Dumfries, Tomas Palacios and Raffaele Di Gennaro.

The absences reduce options across the pitch and force Inter to rely on rotation and squad depth.

Further updates on the starting XI are expected in the coming hours.

Sky Sport anticipate changes compared to midweek, with several regulars set to return after resting or seeing limited action against Lecce.

Lautaro Martinez is expected back in the starting line-up, alongside Federico Dimarco and Luis Henrique.

Inter aim to manage fatigue carefully while maintaining momentum in the title race, knowing that points in Udine remain crucial despite the missing personnel.
