In the absence of Samir Handanovic, second choice Inter Milan shot stopper IonutRadu is expected to start in goal for manager Antonio Conte in what would be his first appearance of the season. Radu has been ever present on the Inter Milan bench this season except for the period that he spent on the sidelines earlier in the season due to a positive Covid-19 test result. His last appearance for Inter Milan coincidentally came against Sassuolo in what was a 3-1 win for the Italian Serie A giants in 2016 and he was not even in goal when Sassuolo scored that lone goal.

He came on as a second half substitute to play his role in the win for Inter Milan at the expense of Sassuolo.
