Lautaro Martinez is expected to return for Inter when Dries Mertens might be back for Napoli in the Coppa Italia at San Siro tonight.
The Argentine was suspended when the Nerazzurri beat Milan 4-2 on Sunday but should be set to start alongside Romelu Lukaku when Inter welcome Gennaro Gattuso’s men in Milan.
Antonio Conte will give Daniele Padelli another chance in goal and could let 20-year-old Alessandro Bastoni return to a back-three with Milan Skriniar and Stefan De Vrij when the coach continues to trust his successful 3-5-2.

Victor Moses and Cristiano Biraghi are expected to give Ashley Young and Antonio Candreva some time to rest and Stefano Sensi looks set to be favoured ahead of Christian Eriksen in the middle.
Napoli will arrive after another setback in the League and will have to redeem a 3-2 defeat against Lecce at the San Paolo last weekend.
Gattuso will have David Ospina in goal to replace an injured Alex Meret. Kalidou Koulibaly and Kostas Manolas could be returning as a pair in the middle, with Fabian Ruiz back in the line-up with Diego Demme and Eljif Elmas.
Up front, the coach can welcome back Dries Mertens in the middle and return to their old ways with Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon on the sides.
Inter (probable): Padelli; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Moses, Barella, Brozovic, Sensi, Biraghi; Sanchez, Lautaro
Napoli (probable): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Elmas, Demme, Fabian; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne
