Inter Milan vs AS Roma – Match preview and team news Inter Milan welcome AS Roma to the San Siro as they prepare to face them on Sunday night in a Serie A. Inter Milan vs AS Roma – Match preview and team news Date: Sunday, 5th April. Kick-off: 7:45pm BST.

Venue: San Siro, Milan. Inter Milan team news Inter manager Cristian Chivu enters this clash at San Siro with a significantly bolstered squad, headlined by the return of captain Lautaro Martínez. The Argentine striker has recovered from a calf injury and is set to reunite with Marcus Thuram in the “ThuLa” partnership for the first time since February.

In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is fit enough for the matchday squad following a hamstring issue, though he is expected to start on the bench. However, the Nerazzurri are not at full strength. Defender Yann Bisseck is ruled out with a right thigh muscle strain, and Carlos Augusto is unavailable due to a one-match suspension.

These absences mean Francesco Acerbi will likely anchor the back three, with Manuel Akanji shifting to the right. Despite these defensive tweaks, Inter’s core remains intact as they look to capitalise on their home advantage. AS Roma team news Gian Piero Gasperini faces a selection crisis as Roma travels to Milan with a severely depleted squad.
