Serie A: Inter vs. Bologna – Confirmed line-ups

Marcus Thuram is back in the Inter starting line-up and will partner captain Lautaro Martinez in attack for the Nerazzurri when they take on Bologna in Serie A on Wednesday night.

You can follow the action from tonight’s game on the Football Italia Liveblog. 

Tonight’s game is a rearranged fixture, which was originally due to take place during the 19th round of Serie A fixtures. It was postponed due to Inter’s commitments in the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia earlier in the month.

The return of Thuram is a boost for Simone Inzaghi, but the Nerazzurri coach still has a few injury issues to contest with.

There is no Hakan Calhanoglu or Henrikh Mkhitaryan in tonight’s squad due to injury, so Kristjan Asllani and Piotr Zielinski partner Nicolo Barella in a previously untried midfield combination.

There is also another start for Matteo Darmian in the back three, as Yann Aurel Bisseck misses out.

Bologna, meanwhile, have made a handful of changes following their 2-2 draw against Roma last time out. Nicolo Casale replaces Jhon Lucumi at centre-back, Charalampos Lykogiannis replaces Juan Miranda at left-back, Nikola Moro is in for Lewis Ferguson in midfield .

There is also a return for Riccardo Orsolini, who starts in place of Benja Dominguez, while a straight swap up front sees Santiago Castro come back into the team to replace Thijs Dallinga.
