As Inter Milan puts the finishing touches on their Coppa Italia final preparations against Lazio, all eyes are on Marcus Thuram's fitness for the crucial match on Wednesday.

Fresh off securing the Scudetto, the Nerazzurri are chasing their first domestic double since 2010—a feat that would cement their status as Italy's dominant force. Having already defeated Lazio twice this season, including a victory just this past Saturday, Inter enters the final with confidence.

In goal, cup specialist Josep Martinez gets the nod, with Yann Sommer watching from the bench. The defensive line is expected to feature Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, and Alessandro Bastoni, pushing former Lazio defenders Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij to reserve roles.

Out wide, Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco are the clear starters, with Carlos Augusto, Luis Henrique, and Andy Diouf providing depth. In midfield, Piotr Zielinski steps in for the injured Hakan Calhanoglu as the deep-lying playmaker, while Nicolo Barella anchors the unit. Petar Sucic appears to have the edge over Henrikh Mkhitaryan for the second box-to-box role.

The biggest question mark remains up front. Thuram suffered an injury scare during Monday's training but returned to the field by Tuesday. Manager Cristian Chivu confirmed the Frenchman's condition will be monitored throughout the day before a final decision. If fit, he'll partner captain Lautaro Martinez in attack. Should Thuram be unavailable, Francesco Pio Esposito is the likely replacement, with Ange-Yoan Bonny as an alternative.

Projected Inter XI (3-5-2): Martinez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro. Bench: Sommer, Di Gennaro, Acerbi, De Vrij, Darmian, Carlos Augusto, Cocchi, Luis Henrique, Mkhitaryan, Frattesi.
