Antonio Conte still doesn’t seem satisfied with an intensive January transfer window, with Christian Eriksen expected for his medical on Monday.
Young arrived from Manchester United and is thrown into the mix for his debut in place of suspended Antonio Candreva on the right wing.
That’s because Kwadwo Asamoah, Roberto Gagliardini and Marcelo Brozovic are injured, with Danilo D’Ambrosio not at 100 per cent, so there is a shortage of options.
Borja Valero steps in to the middle of the park for Brozovic.
Romelu Lukaku leads the way with Lautaro Martinez, but even this front pairing has hit problems lately after back-to-back 1-1 Serie A draws with Atalanta and Lecce.
Those results saw them fall four points adrift of leaders Juventus.
Cagliari are an unpredictable side, as they went from 12-match unbeaten run putting them in the top four to a dismal streak of two points from six rounds.
They also crashed out of the Coppa Italia with a 4-1 defeat here against Inter on January 14.
Nainggolan returns to face his parent club and will be determined to make his mark on a fanbase and directors who never really took to him.
Fabio Pisacane sits out a ban in midfield, with Marko Rog, Alberto Cerri, Leonardo Pavoletti, Fabrizio Cacciatore, Federico Mattiello, Luca Ceppitelli and Daniele Ragatzu injured.
Joao Pedro and Giovanni Simeone again lead the attack, but Alessio Cragno returns in goal for the first time since shoulder surgery in pre-season.
Cagliari have kept only one clean sheet in their last 35 Serie A meetings with Inter, home and away, a 2-0 result in April 2013.
