Inter-Sassuolo: Probable starting XI for Conte's squad

Antonio Conte is preparing for Inter's match against Sassuolo knowing that he'll be without some key players due to injuries. Sanchez and D'Ambrosio both suffered injuries with their respective national teams, and Sensi is hurt with a muscular injury suffered against Juventus.

Conte will field his usual 3-5-2. In defense, Bastoni and Godin are competing for the start, with the Italian expected to get the nod. Barella and Gagliardini should man the central midfield next to Brozovic. Candreva and Asamoah are expected to start on the wings. Lukaku is certain to start in attack next to either Lautaro or Politano. The Argentine is expected to get the start and team up with Lukaku. Below is the probable starting line-up:

Inter (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, de Vrij, Bastoni; Candreva, Barella, Brozovic, Gagliardini, Asamoah; Martinez, Lukaku.
