Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Stefan de Vrij in defense and Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack against Juventus. This evening’s Serie A clash is scheduled for 20.45 CET.

This evening, Inzaghi is going for his strongest team available to him.

There are some notable absences due to injury.

Most prominently, both Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard are currently out.

As such, Inter coach Inzaghi has gone with Francesco Acerbi and Matteo Darmian either side of de Vrij at the back.

In midfield, the trio of Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. That is in fact the trio which has been first-choice since the start of the season.

Meanwhile, on the flanks, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries start.

Thirdly, in goal, Yann Sommer starts. The former Bayern Munich veteran has played every minute for Inter so far this season.

Lautaro Martinez & Marcus Thuram Start In Attack

Fourthly, in attack, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez starts.

Then, Marcus Thuram starts alongside the Argentine.

The pair, both of whom played in last year’s World Cup final, have been the clear first-choice strike partnership this season.

Then on the bench, there are plenty of players who can impact the match.

Among these are summer signings like midfielder Davide Frattesi and wingback Carlos Augusto.

And in other team news, Marko Arnautovic is also on the bench.

The Austrian had been out with a thigh injury for around a month and a half. However, he made his return before the international break.

On the other hand, Alexis Sanchez is out with an injury.

The Chilean is missing due to an ankle sprain which he picked up during the break.
