Team news & squads
Inter team news
After recovering from a muscle injury that prevented him from making his full debut for Inter Milan last week, summer signing Piotr Zielinski might see action in Saturday’s match. However, Stefan de Vrij (thigh) and Tajon Buchanan (leg) will remain sidelined.
Former Porto star Mehdi Taremi made his first league appearance for Inter as a substitute, but the team will likely stick with their usual strike duo of Marcus Thuram and captain Lautaro Martinez.
Despite being named Capocannoniere for the 2023-24 season, Martinez has not scored in his last five Serie A home games, a goal drought that dates back to February. This is the second-longest dry spell he has experienced at San Siro since joining the club.
Inter Milan possible XI: Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Sommer, Di Gennaro, Martinez |
| Defenders: | Acerbi, Pavard, Augusto, Bisseck, Dimarco, Darmian, Bastoni |
| Midfielders: | Dumfries, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Barella |
| Forwards: | Arnautovic, Thuram, Correa, Martinez |
Lecce team news
Lecce are set to travel north to Lombardy with a nearly complete squad, aside from long-term injury victim Mohamed Kaba, who continues his lengthy recovery from a serious knee injury.
New additions Kialonda Gaspar, Balthazar Pierret, and Tete Morente all made their debuts last week and are likely to keep their spots in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Lassana Coulibaly and Lameck Banda are poised to be the main contenders for a place in the first team.
Nikola Kristovic, last season's top scorer, will once again lead the attack for the Salentini. Additionally, French full-back Valentin Gendrey remains with the club despite interest from Hoffenheim.
Lecce possible XI: Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Gaspar, Gallo; Ramadani, Pierret; Morente, Rafia, Dorgu; Krstovic
