Inter will reportedly leave Christian Eriksen on the bench for tomorrow's clash with Lazio.
The Nerazzurri face a match in the Scudetto race as they travel to Rome to take on Simone Inzaghi's high-flying side.
The Biancocelesti are just one point behind Antonio Conte's men while Juventus, who are level with Inter at the top, take on Brescia on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Corriere dello Sport though January signing Eriksen will not play from the start on Sunday night.
Conte wants the physicality of Matias Vecino to combat the threat of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and will also count on his tactical discipline.
That means Eriksen is likely to be an option for the second half, as he was against Milan and Napoli. His first start is likely to come against Ludogorets in the Europa League.
There is also a selection doubt in defence as Alessandro Bastoni could be preferred to Diego Godin.
However, the former Atletico Madrid centre-back has experience of playing in big games like this one and that could swing things in his favour.
Probable Inter formation: Padelli; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Candreva, Vecino, Brozovic, Barella, Young; Lukaku, Lautaro
