Simone Inzaghi could welcome both Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan back into his starting line-up when Inter take on Sparta Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Nerazzurri are coming in off the back of a 3-1 victory over Empoli in Serie A over the weekend, and also have a couple of potential returns to the starting XI to strengthen them even further.
Alessandro Bastoni, who was rested for the Empoli match, is expected to return to the back three in Czechia, alongside Stefan De Vrij and Benjamin Pavard.
Mkhiratyan could also come back into the midfield three in the place of Piotr Zielinski, but Nicolo Barella and Kristjan Asllani are both in line to keep their places in the team with Hakan Calhanoglu still out.
Leading goalscorer Thuram, who scored again off the bench against Empoli, could return up front alongside captain Lautaro Martinez, which would mean Mehdi Taremi dropping to the bench.
Sparta Prague and Inter have faced each other on four previous occasions in European competitions, with the Nerazzurri winning on three occasions and losing just one match. This will be the first time these two sides will face each other between the Champions Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
Inter are unbeaten against Czech Republic opponents in the UEFA Champions League, with all four previous fixtures coming from 2019/20 onwards. The Nerazzurri have won all three most recent matches, scoring nine goals and conceding just one.
Sparta (3-4-2-1): Vindhal; Vitik, Panak, Sorensen; Wiesner, Laci, Kairinen, Ryenes; Birmancevic, Haraslin; Olatunji.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, L.Martinez.
