Inter Milan have taken no injury risks ahead of the Champions League final and Simone Inzaghi rested almost his entire first-choice XI for the final round of Serie A fixtures last weekend.

Yann Sommer, Federico Dimarco and Hakan Calhanoglu are the only players who faced Como and are likely to retain their place in the side against Paris Saint-Germain.

Lautaro Martinez has not played for Inter since their semi-final win over Barcelona due to a hamstring injury, but the Inter captain will start in Munich.

Martinez revealed he was not fully-fit for that Barcelona win and Inzaghi has been protecting his star striker ahead of the final.

Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck have both been struggling with minor injuries but both hope to be fit and Inzaghi faces a decision over which player to start on the right of his back three alongside Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.

Denzel Dumfries, who has been one of the best players in the Champions League this season, will start at right-wing back with Dimarco on the other flank.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicola Barella will start as two of the three central midfielders, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi vying for the other spot.

Paris Saint-Germain’s big selection decision for the Champions League final is whether Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue start on the right of their attack.

Luis Enrique must choose who plays alongside Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in his front three against Inter Milan.

Both Barcola and Doue started the French Cup final last weekend, when Kvaratskhelia was an unused substitute as PSG beat Reims 3-0.

Barcola got two goals and an assist in that game but Doue got two assists, leaving Enrique with a tough call.

Doue got the nod for the first leg of the semi-final against Arsenal and both started the second leg when Dembele was struggling with an injury.

Kvaratskhelia has been struggling with a minor issue but will start on the left in Munich. Dembele will lead the line.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will return in goal after Matvey Safonov started the French Cup final.

Donnarumma has been outstanding in PSG’s run to the Champions League final, producing brilliant displays in their wins against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal.
