Despite Inter’s formidable league form, they suffered a dismal 3-1 defeat at Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their knockout playoff tie.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri must pull off a huge second-leg comeback when the two sides renew hostilities at San Siro tomorrow night.
Furthermore, Cristian Chivu will be without talismanic captain Lautaro Martinez due to a calf injury.
Nevertheless, the Italian giants should take the field in a buoyant mood, having won seven of their last eight home outings in all competitions.
