Dimarco picked up a minor muscle injury during their recent draw with Monza and has missed training this week. The absence of Dimarco will force Simone Inzaghi to make adjustments to his starting lineup.

Calhanoglu has one goal in three Serie A appearances this season. He makes his first Champions League appearance tonight.

He will be the sold Turkish international representative tonight.

Up front, Mehdi Taremi and Marcus Thuram are set to lead the attack.

Inter Milan will be looking to bounce back from their draw with Monza and secure a positive result against the defending Premier League champions.

Inter Milan confirmed starting lineup: Sommer, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Carlos, Thuram, Taremi.
