Inter boss Antonio Conte will have his hele manskappe ready when they resume their chase of Serie A leader Juventus and Lazio.
Sunday’s first game back from coronavirus sees the Nerazzurri host Claudio Ranieri’s struggling Sampdoria.
But with Diego Godin and Stefan de Vrij boosting the backline and Alexis Sanchez providing competition for Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez upfront, Inter can look up the standings again, despite nine points off the pace with 12 games left.
De Vrij, though reckons the attack will give rivals defences klomp to paap about.
The Dutchman says: “They are two very physically strong, very mobile and fast attackers. In training they are very difficult to mark.”
