In midfield, Chivu plans to revert to his preferred lineup, albeit with one significant modification.
Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu will remain in their roles.
Meanwhile, summer acquisition Petar Sucic is set to take over on the left side of the trio, stepping in for Piotr Zielinski, who reported discomfort after the match at the Metropolitano.
The flanks are also expected to see some changes.
Federico Dimarco is assured of his spot at left wing-back.
On the right flank, Luis Henrique currently has the edge over Carlos Augusto as Chivu seeks to inject more energy and attacking drive in the team following the midweek setback.
With Bonny sidelined, Inter will depend on their established attacking duo, Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez, with Pio Esposito as the only alternative available on the bench.
