Inter start Marcus Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny and two fresh young talents in the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Torino’s Sandro Kulenovic and Alieu Njie.

It kicks off at the U-Power Stadium in Monza at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).

The winners will be decided after 90 minutes or go directly to a penalty shoot-out, then go on to face either Napoli or Como in the semi-final.

It is played on neutral turf because San Siro is being prepared for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

Serie A leaders Inter are on a roll at the moment, but rotate their squad heavily to rest some of the big stars.

Some changes are forced, as Nicolò Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries are still out injured.

Matteo Darmian was expected to make his first start of the season, but has instead been ruled out at the last minute by a stomach bug.

Andy Diouf and Stefan De Vrij start, while Carlos Augusto shakes off a knock.

There is a full senior debut for left-back Matteo Cocchi, who celebrated his 19^th birthday over the weekend, and 21-year-old Issiaka Kamate.

Torino eliminated Roma from the Coppa Italia Round of 16, winning a 3-2 thriller at the Stadio Olimpico last month.

Their Serie A form had been dismal, losing four on the bounce including a 6-0 result at Como.

However, they got back on track with Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Lecce.

Coach Marco Baroni has a long list of absentees, including Giovanni Simeone, Ardian Ismajli, Gvidas Gineitis, Ivan Ilic, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Niels Nkounkou, Perr Schuurs and Zanos Savva.

There was also a last-minute problem, as Cesare Casadei is suffering from flu symptoms and didn’t even make the trip.

January signings Luca Marianucci, Rafa Obrador, Sandro Kulenovic and Matteo Prati all step into the starting XI.

When these teams last met in the opening Serie A weekend, Inter emerged 5-0 winners, making it a run of seven consecutive victories against this opponent.

Torino haven’t beaten the Nerazzurri since a 1-0 home result in January 2019, managing one draw and 12 losses.
