Inter v Como: Mkhitaryan could return to starting lineup

Inter Milan may include Henrikh Mkhitaryan in their starting lineup for the Serie A match against Como, Euro-Football.Ru reports.

The Armenian midfielder has been sidelined since suffering an injury during Inter’s clash with Napoli in the eighth round of the league on 25 October. He was forced off after 32 minutes and subsequently missed more than a month of action.

Mkhitaryan made his return in the Coppa Italia last-16 tie against Venezia on 3 December, coming on at half-time and providing an assist in the 75th minute. His involvement in that match has boosted expectations that he could start as Inter host Como in the 14th round of Serie A.
