Barcelona vs. Inter Milan predicted lineups, team news
Robert Lewandowski remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and the May 11 Clasico against Real Madrid remains the star striker's target. Ferran Torres produced an impressive goalscoring appearance in his absence in the Copa del Rey final.
Alejandro Balde is battling to return from his own hamstring problem and Gerard Martin is ready to continue at left-back if he does not make it.
Marc Casado remains out with a knee problem and Marc Bernal is a long-term absentee.
Barcelona predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny (GK) — Kounde, I. Martinez, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin — Pedri, de Jong — Raphinha, Olmo, Lamine Yamal — Ferran.
Injured: Lewandowski (hamstring), Balde (hamstring, doubt), Casado (knee), Bernal (ACL).
Suspended: None
Marcus Thuram is closing in on fitness and hopes to start up front alongside Lautaro Martinez after missing Inter's past three matches with a thigh problem. Joaquin Correa, Medhi Taremi and veteran forward Marko Arnautovic are Inzaghi's alternatives.
Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski each returned to action against Roma following lay-offs and suffered no ill-effects, although defender Benjamin Pavard is a major doubt after suffering a sprained ankle.
Inter Milan predicted lineup (3-5-2): Sommer (GK) — Augusto, Acerbi, Bastoni— Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco— Martinez, Thuram.
