Inter centre-back Stefan De Vrij has recovered from injury and should be straight back in his side’s starting XI as the Nerazzurri travel away to Cagliari.
Simone Inzaghi will still be without Matteo Darmian in defence, meaning Yann Bisseck will retain his spot in the back-three, with Denzel Dumfries deployed more advanced as a right wing-back.
For the final matchday of the year, the Nerazzurri coach is not going to tweak his most trusted midfield trio, with Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolò Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all expected to start.
The same will apply to the attacking duo, with Lautaro Martinez set to get the nod alongside Marcus Thuram in the hope of ending his four-game scoring drought in Serie A.
Cagliari coach Davide Nicola should welcome Yerry Mina back in his four-man defensive line, while full-backs Nadir Zortea and Tommaso Augello could be used as offensive wingers at the sides of Nicolas Viola.
Cagliari are coming off their third defeat in a row after losing 2-1 to Venezia in a crucial game against a rival in the battle to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, Inter go into this game three points off Atalanta and with a game in hand, after a tough but deserved 2-0 win against Como earlier this week.
Inter have won each of their last four games in Sardinia and will be targeting their fifth straight clean sheet on the road in Serie A this season.
Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Sherri; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Makoumbou, Adopo; Zortea, Viola, Augello; Piccoli.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.
