Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Returns in cup fixture Mkhitaryan (personal) is starting in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Juventus.
Impact Mkhitaryan reported back to the team after tending to a personal matter and quickly reclaimed his starting job. That may be the case again Sunday versus Lazio. He has logged seven shots (two on target), two key passes, 11 tackles (seven won), and nine interceptions in his last five appearances.

Dusan Vlahovic - Ruled out for cup game Vlahovic will miss Wednesday's Coppa Italia game versus Inter due to an ankle sprain, Juventus announced.
Impact Vlahovic isn't dealing with a major problem, but the short turnaround puts him at risk for Sunday's away game versus Bologna. Arkadiusz Milik is the only Juventus striker currently healthy.

Francesco Acerbi - Busy defensively versus Empoli Acerbi had one off-target shot, created two chances, made five clearances, two interceptions and two blocks and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 3-0 win over E...
Impact Acerbi had another solid performance at the heart of the defense, prevailing over opposing forwards and making life much easier for teammates with his play. The veteran center-back is no longer that stat sheet stuffer from his days at Sassuolo and Lazio but remains very productive, being able to rack up lots of clearances and interceptions in any given match.

Samir Handanovic - Keeps clean sheet versus Empoli Handanovic made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 3-0 win over Empoli.
Impact Handanovic started for just the third time in six months with Andre Onana being rested for this one. And there wasn't much work to do for the veteran goalkeeper, who managed to keep his third clean sheet of the season and the first since September. Onana will probably be back for Sunday's clash against Lazio, but Handanovic remains a luxury backup if there's a need for him to fill in.

Lautaro Martinez - Scores off bench in win over Empoli Martinez scored a goal off his lone shot and created one chance after coming off the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Empoli.
Impact Martinez was brought as part of a double substitution midway through the second half and still found time to leave his mark for the second consecutive game, picking up a pass from Romelu Lukaku and stepping into the box to send the ball into the far post with his left foot to seal the 3-0 win in the 88th minute. With 15 goals and three assists over 31 Serie A appearances this season, Martinez will try to keep it up next Sunday when his side hosts second-placed Lazio.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Logs assist versus Empoli Calhanoglu made an assist, had three shots (one on target), created two chances and sent in five crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Empoli.
Impact Calhanoglu started for the first time in more than a month and made most of the opportunity, assisting Romelu Lukaku for Inter's second goal and being involved in many other dangerous plays. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet for the playmaker in almost three months, the exact confidence booster he needs for the crucial UCL and Serie A matches Inter has to play during next month.
