Fiorentina vs Inter Milan: Lineups and how to watch

Late news

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella has returned to the XI that he stuck to for months, with Kevin-Prince Boateng replacing the injured Franck Ribery up top and Germán Pezzella returning to the heart of defense with a mask to protect his broken face. Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has opted to give ballyhooed youngster Alessandro Bastoni a start at the back. Due to a midfield injury crisis, Borja Valero and Matías Vecino are both in the engine room because there isn’t anyone else available. With that pair plus Cristiano Biraghi and Danilo D’Ambrosio, it’s a very ex-Viola flavored midfield.

Lineups

Fiorentina (3-5-2): Drągowski; Milenković, Pezzella, Cáceres; Lirola, Pulgar, Badelj, Castrovilli, Dalbert; Chiesa, Boateng

Inter Milan (3-5-2): Handanović; Škriniar, de Vrij, Bastoni; D’Ambrosio, Vecino, Brozović, Valero, Biraghi; Lukaku, Martínez
