Andrea Ranocchia is set to start in this evening's Europa League round of 32 first leg match away to reigning Bulgarian champions Ludogorets according to a report in today's print edition of Corriere dello Sport.
The experienced Italian centre back will in fact be making his 200th competitive appearance across all competitions for the Nerazzurri at the Ludogorets Arena in Razgrad.
Ranocchia will be tasked with leading the defence again, just like he did in his most recent appearances which came against Cagliari and Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia.
The 32-year-old is currently the longest serving player on Inter's books having joined the club way back in January of 2011.
Ranocchia has found playing time hard to come by at Inter for a good few seasons now and he has spent some time out on loan at both Sampdoria and more recently Hull City so he could play more. This season he has made four appearances across all competitions, in which he has scored once.
