Piotr Zielinski and Kristjan Asllani could replace Henrikh Mikhtaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu in Inter’s midfield for their first-leg of the Round of 16 against Feyenoord.
It kicks off at 18:45 CET (17:45 GMT) at the Stadion Feijenoord in Rotterdam.
The Nerazzurri travel to the Netherlands with several players on the treatment table: Federico Dimarco, Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski, and Carlos Augusto will all be unavailable, forcing coach Simone Inzaghi to deploy Alessandro Bastoni at left wing-back.
Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi will feature in the back three, also comprising Benjamin Pavard.
Hakan Calhanoglu will initially be rested amid concerns for his fitness after a thigh issue forced him off in the second half against Napoli, but he could still come in during the game.
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will start in attack.
Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie will also be grappling with many injuries, but both Juventus target David Hancko and talented forward Igor Paixao, who already hurt Milan in the previous round, are expected to start.
