Champions League

Feyenoord vs. Inter: probable line-ups and where to watch

Marcus Thuram and Pio Esposito are set to lead Inter's attack in a crucial Champions League clash away at Feyenoord.

Inter need a win in Rotterdam

Marcus Thuram and Pio Esposito are expected to start up front for Inter in a pivotal Champions League match away at Feyenoord. The game kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT), the same time as Manchester United against Roma.

Inter have won one and lost two of their first three Champions League games this season. They need another win tonight to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Round of 16.

Injuries and suspension hit the visitors

The defending Serie A champions have travelled to Rotterdam without the injured Lautaro Martinez, John Stones, Curtis Jones and Luis Henrique. Inter are also looking to recover from a 3-1 defeat in the derby della Madonnina at the weekend.

Alessandro Bastoni is suspended, so Carlos Augusto is set to start in a three-man defence alongside Manuel Akanji and Yann Bisseck. Pio Esposito returns to the starting line-up and, according to several reports, will partner Thuram in attack.

Midfield selection

Piotr Zielinski, Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella are expected to start in central midfield, although Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also in contention for a place in the XI. There is also uncertainty on the right side of midfield, where Djed Spence is pencilled in ahead of Andy Diouf.

Probable line-ups

Feyenoord (4-3-3): Ernst; Read, Watanabe, Marmol, Javi Lopez; Zechiel, Vanhoutte, Targhelline; Hadj Moussa, Ferri, Valente.

Inter (3-5-2): Martinez; Bisseck, Akanji, Carlos Augusto; Spence, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito.

How to watch

In the UK and Ireland, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 5 and HBO Max. In the USA, it can be watched on Paramount+. Live text updates will also be available through a liveblog.
