Gazzetta expects Pio Esposito in the middle
With Lautaro Martínez out, Gazzetta dello Sport, Italy's biggest sports daily, expects a new pair up front. It has Cristian Chivu, the Inter manager, starting Francesco Pio Esposito, the Inter forward, in the center, with Marcus Thuram, the Inter forward, working around him. The paper writes "Pio al centro e Thuram a cercare spazio intorno" — Pio in the middle, Thuram looking for space around him.
It says Esposito is sure of his place after sitting out the win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Thuram is well clear of Ange-Yoan Bonny, the Inter forward, for the second spot. Inter have published no lineup.

Chivu kept the squad at the training ground overnight
Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Chivu, who has not favored pre-match camps, had the players sleep at Appiano Gentile, Inter's training ground, before this midday kickoff in Milan. They trained the previous morning, went home for the afternoon, and reconvened at 2:30 PM ET, 19:30 CET.
The team was due to leave for the stadium at about 5:30 AM ET, 10:30 CET, with a breakfast doubling as lunch. "Oggi si gioca alle 12.30, un tempo troppo corto per la solita convocazione mattutina" — today's kickoff is too early for the usual morning meet-up.
