Neither Alessandro Deiola nor Michael Folorunsho: in the end, Fabio Pisacane's choice to replace the injured Luca Mazzitelli fell on Ibrahim Sulemana. The midfielder, who returned to the Rossoblu in January, will complete the midfield in the 4-3-3 for Inter vs. Cagliari, tonight at 8:45 PM away to the Serie A leaders . He will have to make up for his unfortunate afternoon in Reggio Emilia, when, as a substitute, he caused the error that cost Sassuolo a 2-1 victory and the defeat. Michel Adopo and Gianluca Gaetano will play alongside him in midfield. In defense, Juan Rodríguez is once again preferred to Alberto Dossena to partner Yerry Mina, while the wingers are Zé Pedro and Adam Obert.

Up front, Sebastiano Esposito (3 goals in 5 games) will face his brother Francesco Pio, who scored his first Serie A goal in the first leg . However, the Rossoblu's number 94 will not be the center forward: Gennaro Borrelli, making his second consecutive start, will be in that position . Marco Palestra, a key player on Inter's transfer watch list, completes the attacking trio. Andrea Belotti, who returned last Saturday against Cremonese, will be eligible for minutes. In the first leg of Cagliari-Inter on September 27, he suffered a serious knee injury late in the first half that compromised his season. For the Nerazzurri, Petar Sučić is out through suspension, along with Lautaro Martínez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Yann Bisseck.

Here are the official lineups for Inter vs. Cagliari: kick-off is at 8:45 PM, with referee Matteo Marchetti from Ostia Lido .
