Inter centre-back Stefan De Vrij has recovered from injury and is expected to be back in his side's starting XI as the Nerazzurri travel to Cagliari.
Kick-off will be at 6:00 p.m. CET (5:00 p.m. GMT) at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari.
Simone Inzaghi will still be without Matteo Darmian in defense, meaning Yann Bisseck will retain his place in the bottom three, with Denzel Dumfries deployed further forward as a right-back.

The same will apply to the attacking duo, with Lautaro Martinez set to get the nod alongside Marcus Thuram in the hope of ending their four-game Serie A drought.
Cagliari coach Davide Nicola is expected to welcome Yerry Mina back into his four-man defensive line, while full-backs Nadir Zortea and Tommaso Augello could be used as attacking wingers alongside Nicolas Viola.
