A new week has finally begun, which will bring, with the end of the National team commitments, the return of the leagues. The next one, for example, will immediately be a challenging weekend for Cristian Chivu‘s Inter, called to the big match of the seventh round of Serie A away at the Olimpico stadium against Gian Piero Gasperini‘s Roma (INFO ON WHERE TO WATCH ROMA-INTER).

For the Nerazzurri, the absence of Marcus Thuram is almost certain, as he is recovering from a strain to the biceps femoris of his left thigh suffered against Slavia Prague. Therefore, there will be an open competition up front between Bonny and Pio Esposito, with the Frenchman slightly ahead to partner from the first minute with Lautaro Martinez.

These are the probable line-ups for Roma-Inter:
