Serie A official line-ups: Inter vs. Udinese | OneFootball

Marcus Thuram is partnered by Marko Arnautovic, but Federico Dimarco returns with Alessandro Bastoni suspended as Inter host Lorenzo Lucca’s Udinese.

It kicks off at San Siro at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Nerazzurri could further consolidate their leadership this weekend, especially as second-placed Napoli face a tricky clash with Milan tonight.

Lautaro Martinez suffered a muscular injury on international duty with Argentina, joining Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski on the treatment table.

Alessandro Bastoni is also suspended, so Carlos Augusto moves into the back three.

Nicolò Barella is amongst those rested after international duty, but the good news is the return of Dimarco and Matteo Darmian after their lay-offs, as well as a rare Davide Frattesi start.

Arnautovic gets the nod ahead of Joaquin Correa to partner Thuram, who pulled out of the France squad with an ankle knock.

Mehdi Taremi is not even on the bench after a muscular issue, having taken Iran to 2026 World Cup qualification last week.

Udinese went into the break with a shock 1-0 home defeat to Hellas Verona, which ended a very positive streak of four wins and two draws.

Alexis Sanchez won’t face his old club, as he suffered a soleus injury with Chile, while Florian Thauvin is also still struggling with a foot problem.

Razvan Sava and Isaak Toure are long-term absentees.

Lucca therefore leads the attack with support from Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.
