Inter Milan will host Lecce at San Siro on Wednesday night, looking to strengthen their lead in Serie A.
The team has not lost to Lecce in their last eight encounters and aims for another strong performance.
Inter played Napoli last Sunday, resulting in their first draw of the season. Scott McTominay equalized late in the match after Hakan Calhanoglu scored from the penalty spot.
Despite the draw, Inter remains at the top with 43 points from 19 matches. They are the league’s top scorers, with 42 goals, and had won all their league matches since November prior to this recent draw.
Inter Milan team news
Inter is awaiting news on Calhanoglu, who suffered a calf strain during the draw against Napoli. Scans showed he will be out for about 20 days. He will miss the match against Lecce, along with backup goalie Josep Martinez and wing-backs Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian.
With a match against Udinese coming up, coach Cristian Chivu is considering rotating the squad. Petar Sucic or Henrikh Mkhitaryan might fill in for Calhanoglu in midfield.
Forwards Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito are competing for positions after good training sessions. Carlos Augusto may replace Federico Dimarco on the left, who has contributed nine goals in league play this season.

Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Augusto; Henrique, Barella, Sucic, Zielinski, Dimarco; Bonny, Martinez
When will the match kick off?
