Inter Milan will hope to kick-start their UEFA Champions League campaign with victory over Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine.

The Serie A champions have drawn all three of their group games while Dynamo are level on points with Barcelona and Rubin Kazan at the top of the table.

The teams shared the points when they met at Giuseppe Meazza last month with Inter twice battling from a goal down to claim a 2-2 draw.

With Rubin upsetting Barca last time out the group is wide open with only a point separating the leaders from Inter.

Inter news

Jose Mourinho's side continue to be beset by injuries, with midfielder Sulley Muntari the latest to be sidelined.

Muntari sustained a muscular injury in Inter's 2-0 win at Livorno at the weekend and is doubtful.

Wesley Sneijder and Thiago Motta are still out with thigh injuries.

Mourinho's consolation comes in the shape of striker Mario Balotelli, who is available following suspension.

Dynamo news

Dynamo have injury problems of their own with Badr El Kaddouri (ankle), Andriy Nesmachniy (knee) Olexandr Shovkovskiy (stomach), Pape Diakhate (knee), Ayila Yussuf (thigh) and Olexandr Rybka (ankle) all doubtful.

Artem Kravets could be restored to Valeri Gazzaev's starting XI along with Ognjen Vukojevic, who was suspended for their weekend draw with Karpaty Lviv.

The draw snapped Dynamo's six-match winning run in the Ukraine Premier League, though they are unbeaten at home since losing 2-1 to Porto in the Champions League nearly a year ago.

Leandro Almeida, Artem Milevskiy and Gerson Magrao will all need to tread carefully as one more booking would incur a European ban.

Inter Milan 6/5, Dinamo Kiev 9/4, Draw 12/5
