Inter Milan will host Udinese at San Siro on Monday evening in their fourth Serie A fixture of the season.
The Nerazzurri have made an excellent start to their title defence, winning all three of their opening league matches and taking nine points from a possible nine. Inter began their campaign with a convincing 4-1 home success against Monza before securing a narrow 1-0 victory away to Cagliari. Their latest Serie A game produced another entertaining result, as they edged past Napoli 3-2 in a dramatic contest. Although Inter were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid in the Champions League during the week, their domestic record remains perfect.
Inter Milan team news
Cristian Chivu must now make several important selection decisions after the demanding trip to Madrid.
Federico Dimarco is nearing a return to the matchday squad following a minor injury, but the Inter head coach could decide to place him among the substitutes as a precaution.
Carlos Augusto is therefore expected to retain his position on the left wing-back side. Djed Spence, meanwhile, remains unavailable for selection.
The recently signed wing-back has returned to individual training, but his first competitive appearance for Inter is likely to be postponed until after the upcoming international break.
There is also strong competition for places in central defence. England international John Stones is pushing hard to earn a starting role after making an encouraging impression and building up good momentum. He will hope to feature alongside Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: J. Martinez; Akanji, Stones, Bastoni; Diouf, Zielinski, Calhanoglu, Jones, Augusto; L. Martinez, Esposito
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Monday, 14th September.
