Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Acerbi are among the names expected to start as Inter Milan host Genoa at San Siro.
Indeed, with Cristian Chivu rotating his squad carefully ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Como.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Bonny gets the nod up front alongside Marcus Thuram.
Therefore, Pio Esposito is given a rest after his recent run of starts.

In defence, Bisseck could drop to the bench, with either Acerbi or De Vrij coming in and Akanji shifting across to cover the right side of the back three.
The right wing-back spot remains up for debate.
Luis Henrique and Darmian are competing for the berth, with no clear frontrunner as yet.
On the opposite flank, Dimarco is expected to continue despite the fixture congestion.
The most welcome news is the return of Hakan Calhanoglu to the squad.
The Turkish international is not yet ready to start but is available to make an impact from the bench, a significant boost for Chivu as he navigates a demanding week that also includes next weekend’s derby against AC Milan.
