Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are slated to commence in the attacking line-up for Inter in their forthcoming fixture against Udinese, who will be deprived of the services of the suspended Lorenzo Lucca.
The match is scheduled to commence at 19:45 UK time (GMT+1) at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine. Udinese will be missing the presence of Lucca due to suspension, in addition to the absence of Gerard Deulofeu, Enzo Ebosse, Keinan Davis, and Brenner due to injuries.
Nehuen Perez and Jaka Bijol will initiate as part of a three-man defensive formation, potentially alongside either Lautaro Giannetti or Joao Ferreira. Ferreira might also operate as a right wing-back if Roberto Pereyra is deployed as an attacking midfielder.
Florian Thauvin and Isaac Success are currently favored to spearhead the Udinese attack for this encounter.
Inter will be without the injured trio of Juan Cuadrado, Alessandro Bastoni, and Stefan de Vrij, thereby necessitating the inclusion of Carlos Augusto in the defensive line-up alongside Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard.
Leading Serie A goal scorer Lautaro Martinez is poised to partner Thuram in the attacking department. Martinez, colloquially referred to as “El Toro,” has experienced a goal drought in the last three league matches and aims to avoid missing the target for a fourth consecutive match this season.
