Team News
Inter
Though midfield maestro Marcelo Brozovic remains unavailable due to a thigh injury - Henrikh Mkhitaryan should deputise for the Croatian again - Inter can include Romelu Lukaku in their squad on Wednesday.

The on-loan striker returns following a six-week absence, but should start on the bench, so Simone Inzaghi must choose between Edin Dzeko and Joaquin Correa to partner in-form forward Lautaro Martinez in attack.

Since his Champions League debut in 2018, the latter has scored more goals for the Nerazzurri than any other player (eight). However, the last one at San Siro came some three years ago.

Midfielder Roberto Gagliardini should also be back in the fold, but Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are expected to form the hosts' central trio along with weekend match-winner Mkhitaryan.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Onana; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Gosens; Martinez, Dzeko

Viktoria Plzen
Meanwhile, Plzen made several changes on Saturday after losing to part-timers in the Czech Cup, and a strong side started the 3-1 win over Banik Ostrava.

Jan Kliment - who scored against Bayern last time out in the Champions League - and Tomas Chory may find their strike partnership broken up, though, as Michal Bilek reverts to a lone striker away from home in Europe; Fortune Bassey is also in contention to feature up front.

Long-serving veteran Lukas Hejda captains the side from centre-back in a probable 4-2-3-1 formation.
Viktoria Plzen possible starting lineup:
Stanek; Havel, Hejda, Pernica, Jemelka; Kalvach, Bucha; Kopic, Vlkanova, Mosquera; Chory
Prediction: Inter Milan 3-1 Viktoria Plzen
