The Biancocelesti are still unbeaten, despite being absolutely decimated by injuries and COVID going into the draws away to Club Brugge and Zenit.

They are currently second in their group on five points, while Borussia Dortmund have six, Club Brugge four and Zenit just one.

Coach Simone Inzaghi got Immobile back at the weekend after he finally shook off Coronavirus, with Luis Alberto and Lucas Leiva also available.

However, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic tested positive, with Thomas Strakosha and Gonzalo Escalante injured, Luiz Felipe and Stefan Radu not 100 per cent fit.

Joaquin Correa again partners Immobile, leaving Felipe Caicedo the role of super-sub.

Zenit have been immensely disappointing so far in the Champions League, scraping just one point against a Lazio side in an emergency situation.

The Russians do have a lot of injury problems, missing Vyacheslav Karavaev, Wendel, Magomed Ozdoev and Danil Krugovoi, while Sardar Azmoun, Sebastian Driussi and Malcom are still carrying issues too.

Artem Dzyuba leads the attack with support from Andrei Mostovoy and Aleksandr Erokhin, while Dejan Lovren provides experience in defence, but Zenit seem to have moved to a 3-5-2 formation.

Malcom is able to return from the start.
