Lautaro Martinez is expected to start for Inter in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League semi-final return leg against Barcelona, but Benjamin Pavard will not be available.
Pavard did not recover from an ankle injury suffered in a previous match and was forced to withdraw from contention for the critical match. Bisseck is the likely replacement in the starting defensive lineup.
Lautaro Martinez's availability is a boost for Inter manager Simone Inzaghi. The captain has recovered from a muscular problem that caused him to leave the first leg early. He is anticipated to lead the attack alongside Marcus Thuram.
Barcelona also sees a key player return to availability. Robert Lewandowski is back and expected to start the match on the bench.
Simone Inzaghi is set to field his preferred starting eleven, with the exception of Pavard's absence. The probable defense includes Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni in front of goalkeeper Sommer.
In midfield, Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolò Barella, and Herinkh Mkhitaryan are expected to start. Federico Dimarco is favored over Carlos Augusto on the left flank, despite defensive challenges in the first leg against Lamine Yamal, due to his offensive qualities. Denzel Dumfries is expected to start on the right flank.
The match at San Siro is anticipated to draw a sold-out crowd, potentially generating record earnings for Inter. Barcelona is expected to feature a different defensive setup compared to the first leg.
The second leg encounter is widely viewed as a season-defining fixture for the Italian side.
