Inter Milan stars Carlos Augusto and Yann Bisseck will reportedly start at the back in Sunday’s Serie A contest against Monza.
The Italian champions will resume their domestic campaign following the international with a nearby trip to Brianza.
But with two major battles against Manchester City and AC Milan around the corner, Simone Inzaghi will be rotating his lineup this weekend.
So according to Sky Sport Italia via FcInterNews, the coach will rest Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni.
Bisseck will replace the Frenchman on the right, with Augusto coming in for the Italy international.
On the wings, Matteo Darmian remains the favorite to retain his post at the expense of Denzel Dumfries. The Italian veteran remained at Appiano Gentile during the break while the Dutchman joined Ronald Koeman’s camp.
The source also reveals several selection headaches for Inzaghi in the middle of the park.
Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski are pushing for their first starting berths of the season. The Pole has yet to make his club debut.
However, the duo would have to overcome competition from regular starters Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Sky notes that Hakan Calhanoglu isn’t in his best physical condition. So the Turkiye captain could make way for his understudy Kristjan Asllani.
The report also reveals that Inzaghi tested the attacking partnership of Marcus Thuram and Mehdi Taremi in training.
However, it remains to be seen if Lautaro Martinez will be able to gain ground tomorrow and push for a starting berth.
The Argentine has recently endured a lengthy trip from South America, so he might not be in optimal physical condition this weekend.
