Cristian Chivu’s side will seek revenge for a heartbreaking Supercoppa Italiana defeat a fortnight ago.

However, the hosts will be without three first-team stars, including starting wingback Denzel Dumfries.

Despite resuming training earlier this week, Francesco Acerbi will not be in contention on Sunday.

In addition to Acerbi, Chivu cannot call upon Bonny, who has been on the sidelines since last week.

Indeed, the French striker suffered a knee injury in training, only a few days after Inter’s return from Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, he skipped the Nerazzurri’s narrow 1-0 win over Atalanta last Sunday.

Furthermore, he is likely to stay in the pits until next week, with Chivu expecting him to return for the team’s trip to Parma.
