Multiple sources claim that Aleksandar Stanković will make his Inter debut as a starter in a home game against Parma, managed by new coach Alberto Gilardino.
It kicks off at 18:00 CET [17:00 BST] at the Stadio Meazza in Milan.
The Nerazzurri are without Englishmen John Stones and Curtis Jones, but Djed Spence is available for the first time this season.
Uncertainty remains over Inter’s XI, with many players, including captain Lautaro Martinez, returning from international duty and a Champions League match against Club Brugge, Stankovic’s former club, next Tuesday.
Gazzetta and Sky Sport report that Lautaro will start up front, while Corriere dello Sport claims the Argentine will be left on the bench.
Hakan Calhanoglu is available but is still not fully fit after recovering from an injury, so Stankovic is expected to start instead.
Gilardino, a former Parma and Milan striker, will make his debut as Parma coach after replacing Carlos Cuesta during the break.
Adrian Bernabé returns from an injury and, according to Sky, he’s expected to start in central midfield. David Romero will get the nod in attack while El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani compete for the other starting spot in attack.
