Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni is not expected to ring the changes ahead of the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Bologna at San Siro on Tuesday.
18-year-old Marco Benassi made his Serie A debut in the 2-0 win over Pescara on the weekend, though he is set to be replaced by Walter Gargano, as the Nerazzurri seek an extended cup run to alleviate their recent sketchy form.
Wesley Sneijder continues to ponder over a move away from Italy and can be expected to continue his absence from the first team, though Stramaccioni will be hoping his available senior players can see off the Rossoblu and book a place in the final four.
For the visitors, Panagiotis Kone could be preferred to Saphir Taider in midfield, with Alberto Gilardino set to lead the line.

The Argentine has only one goal to his name for Inter since his double against Juventus in early November, and will want to roar back onto the goalscoring trail for the Nerazzurri as they seek further cup success. Milito scored in the win over the Rossoblu earlier this season, and with his predatory instincts and keen eye for goal, he would be a good bet to do so again.
| Alberto Gilardino | |
| Position: | Striker |
| Squad Number: | 82 |
| Games | Goals | YC | RC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
The Italy international struck a double at the weekend to aid Bologna to a 4-0 win over Chievo, and with eight goals in 19 appearances so far for the visitors, he will again be the main man up front as Stefano Pioli's side seek to sprung a Coppa surprise. Gilardino, now on the wrong side of 30, has just one Coppa Italia goal to his name - something that he'll be hoping to change.
The hosts looked rather comfortable at the weekend, and given the importance placed on the Coppa Italia, it is difficult to see Bologna replicating their win here last season. Inter to progress, but only narrowly.
