Marek Cech failed to complete the 90 minutes on Friday, and is unlikely to feature against Claudio Ranieri's side. Serkan Balci will move back into defence, while Ondrej Celustka will shuffle across to left-back to make up for the Slovakian's absence.
Inter are still without several defenders for the trip to Turkey, including Maicon and Yuto Nagatomo, but Christian Chivu is available again following his domestic suspension, while Lucio will return to the squad. Meanwhile, Wesley Sneijder is a confirmed absence for the trip to the Black Sea coast.

1983-84 European Cup.
- Friday's 1-1 draw with Mersin Idman Yurdu was the first Super Lig game in which Burak Yilmaz has failed to score this season.
- The 1-0 victory at San Siro was Trabzonspor's first Champions League triumph since a 2-1 win over Dynamo Kiev in the 2004-05 qualifying rounds.
- Inter were defeated on their last trip to Turkey, succumbing 1-0 to Fenerbahce in September 2007.

Turkey is never an easy place for a team to travel, but at Inter have a superior team to their opponents. Buoyed on by their passionate support, Trabzonspor will put up a fight, but expect Claudio Ranieri's men to record a narrow victory and secure their place in the last 16.
