Inter Milan
There was injury as well as insult for Inter in their lowly defeat to Monza, as centre-back Stefan de Vrij came off early in the second half with an ankle concern, but it is not yet clear how long the Dutchman may be sidelined for - Francesco Acerbi should return here in any case.
De Vrij is joined in the infirmary by fellow defender Milan Skriniar, whose back injury will reportedly not heal in time for the second leg, but Inzaghi has no other concerns to factor in and was able to welcome Hakan Calhanoglu back from a thigh problem at the weekend.
Marcelo Brozovic is expected to keep Calhanoglu out of the team for the time being, though, while Lukaku is going in search of his 10th Champions League goal in Nerazzurri colours - only four players have previously hit that landmark for Inter - but the well-rested pairing of Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez could reform their attacking partnership.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Brozovic, Dimarco; Dzeko, Martinez
Benfica
While Inter are working without some experienced centre-backs, it is the opposite for Benfica, who will have Argentinian World Cup winner Nicolas Otamendi back from a ban served in the first leg; Morato is primed to drop out of the XI.
Midfielder Florentino is also available after missing the loss to Chaves through suspension, but Julian Draxler and Mihailo Ristic are both nursing muscular problems and appear set to miss out, while right-back Alexander Bah is facing at least a few more weeks out with a knee injury, so Gilberto continues in the Eagles' backline.
No striker has made more pressures in the final third than Goncalo Ramos's 299 for Benfica in the current Champions League campaign, and the 21-year-old is aiming to break a three-game goal drought at San Siro, having already netted 25 times in all tournaments this term.
Benfica possible starting lineup:
Vlachodimos; Gilberto, A. Silva, Otamendi, Grimaldo; Florentino, Aursnes; Neres, R. Silva, Mario; Ramos
Prediction: Inter Milan 1-1 Benfica (Inter win 3-1 on aggregate)
