Inter Milan v Fiorentina: probable line-ups for San Siro clash

Inter Milan host Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday, 25 October 2026, in one of the standout fixtures of the eighth round of the Italian championship.

The Nerazzurri are expected to rely on Josep Martinez in goal, with Alessandro Bastoni, Manuel Akanji and Yann Aurel Bisseck forming the likely defensive line.

Federico Dimarco should provide width and attacking threat from the left, while Petar Sucic, Piotr Zielinski, Nicolo Barella and Andy Diouf are set to make up the midfield.

In attack, Marcus Thuram is expected to partner Francesco Pio Esposito. Inter Milan will, however, be without several players because of injury, including Benjamin Pavard, Curtis Jones, Luis Henrique and Lautaro Martinez.
