Inter Milan lineup vs. PSG: Predicted XI for Saturday night's Champions League final in Munich

Inter Milan are expected to be at full strength when they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Munich on Saturday night.

There have been concerns around the fitness of captain Lautaro Martinez, as well as Benjamin Pavard, Yann Bisseck and Piotr Zielinski, but all four players have returned to full training ahead of the showpiece event at the Allianz Arena this weekend.

Pavard was the biggest doubt, as he has not played in almost two months, and after being on the bench against Lazio, he was left out of the squad that made the short trip to Como last Friday.

Midfielder Zielinski also missed their final Serie A game of the season, but both now appear to have simply been precautionary, with the two being pictured in training this week with their teammates.

Martinez's return will be a huge boost for the Nerazzurri, as manager Simone Inzaghi has allowed the captain time to rest and recuperate after he battled through the pain barrier for over 70 minutes in the second leg of their semi-final against Barcelona earlier this month, following an injury sustained the week previously in the first leg.

The Argentine has the opportunity to become the first Inter player to score 10 goals in a single Champions League season, and he could be just the sixth player in the competition's history to score in all four knockout rounds.

Even though Inter have been in a tense title race, it is clear that Inzaghi's focus has been on this competition, and much of the XI that will start here have had plenty of rest since the semi-final win, including Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan will make history if Inter are victorious here, as that will complete the clean sweep of European trophies for him, doing so at three different clubs, after winning the Europa League with Manchester United, and the Conference League with Roma.

Inzaghi's priorities were laid out to everyone by his team selection at Como last week, even though they knew there was still a chance they could have won the title with a win, because only Yann Sommer, Federico Dimarco and Hakan Calhanoglu started from the XI that is expected to feature in Munich.

Inter Milan possible starting lineup:

Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
