How Inter Milan could line up against Real Madrid

Inter Milan will be looking to ignite their 2020-21 Champions League campaign when they travel to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid on Tuesday night.

The Italian giants have picked up two points from their first two group games this season, which has left them third in the group, one point and one spot above Madrid.

Antonio Conte's side will also enter the European game off the back of a draw in Serie A, having shared the points with Parma at San Siro on Saturday.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Milan giants could line up in Spain.

Out: Matias Vecino (knee) Doubtful: Romelu Lukaku (muscle), Stefano Sensi (muscle), Alexis Sanchez (unspecified)

Inter will definitely be without the services of Matias Vecino due to a knee injury, while Romelu Lukaku, Stefano Sensi and Alexis Sanchez are all doubts for the European fixture.

A muscular issue is expected to rule Lukaku out of the contest, with the Belgium international missing out against Parma, and it would be a huge surprise to see him in the squad.

Sanchez is also a doubt with an unspecified issue, but it is thought that the Chile international was rested on Saturday with the view to being included in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash.

Ivan Perisic could therefore get the nod on the left, with Nico Barella, Marcelo Brozovic and Arturo Vidal potentially lining up as the midfield three in a 3-5-2 formation.

Conte has plenty of options for change in the middle of the park, while Ashley Young and Matteo Darmian will also be considered for one of the two wing-back spots.

Lautaro Martinez will definitely be in the XI, though, and the Argentina international will be keen to make a strong impression against one of the clubs allegedly interested in his services.
