Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu is considering resting Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries against Cagliari, as captain Lautaro Martinez is set to\u00a0return to the lineup.<\/p>\n

According to reports from Sky Sport,<\/a> Chivu will rest Dumfries, who has started every game so far.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Romanian coach will rely on former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian on the right-hand side.<\/p>\n

However, Chivu can also rely on Brazilian Luis Henrique to come off the bench.<\/p>\n

The former Marseille man looked good in his cameo appearance against Sassuolo last weekend<\/a> and Chivu will likely start to give him more minutes.<\/p>\n

Sky also claim that there will be two more big chances from last weekend\u2019s win over the Neroverdi.<\/p>\n

Captain Lautaro Martinez will return to the starting eleven, after being rested against Ajax and coming off the bench against Sassuolo.<\/p>\n

The Argentine returned from international duty with some fatigue and back pain.<\/p>\n

Due to this, Lautaro has played a bit-part role in Inter\u2019s last three matches.<\/p>\n

However, he is now back to full fitness<\/a> and will return to Chivu\u2019s XI.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sky also claim that Chivu will give the nod to Yann Sommer ahead of Josep Martinez in goal.<\/p>\n
