Inter Milan vs Torino – Match Overview
- Date: Wednesday, February 4.
- Kick-off: 8pm BST.

Inter Milan Line-up
Nicolo Barella and Hakan Çalhanoglu are out of this match. Çalhanoglu hopes to return against Sassuolo, while Barella aims for the Derby d’Italia.
Denzel Dumfries is also missing, with a recovery time of about three weeks. Carlos Augusto did not feature in the previous match against Cremonese but has not yet resumed training and could be included in this game.
Despite these injuries, Inter has a strong squad. Cristian Chivu may choose to rotate players, giving opportunities to Stefan De Vrij and Joseph Martinez in the starting lineup.
Lautaro Martinez is performing well and will aim to score again in the Coppa Italia. He will be supported by either Marcus Thuram or Francisco Pio Esposito in attack.
Torino Line-up
Marco Baroni’s team will be considerably impacted by injuries. Ardian Ismajli will be sidelined for 20-30 days due to a flexor strain from the Como match. Ivan Ilic, Gvidas Gineitis, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Adam Masina, Perr Schuurs, and Zannos Savva are also unavailable due to various injuries.
Giovanni Simeone is dealing with a thigh injury, leading Duván Zapata, Alieu Njie, Adams, and new player Sandro Kulenovic to compete for the center-forward role.
Kulenovic has recently joined alongside midfielder Matteo Prati and center-back Luca Marianucci, both of whom are set to make their club debuts on Sunday.
