Tonight’s Serie A fixture between Inter and Cagliari is set to feature brothers Pio and Sebastiano Esposito in their respective teams’ starting lineups. In Inter’s defense, Carlos Augusto is expected to step in for Alessandro Bastoni.
The match is scheduled to commence at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Meazza in Milan.
League leaders Inter, enjoying a nine-point advantage over second-placed Napoli, will be without the injured Lautaro Martinez and Yann Bisseck. Alessandro Bastoni is being rested for fitness, and Petar Sucic is suspended.
Reports from Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia, suggest that Pio Esposito is the favored choice over Ange-Yoan Bonny to partner Thuram in attack.
A question mark remains over central midfield, with either Piotr Zielinski or Henrikh Mkhitaryan likely to start alongside Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Cagliari will be missing Mattia Felici, Riyad Idrissi, Leonardo Pavoletti, and Luca Mazzitelli. In attack, Gennaro Borrelli or Semih Kılıçsoy is expected to play alongside Sebastiano Esposito, Pio’s brother.
