Lecce Vs Inter Milan – Swiss Star At Risk Of Missing Saturday’s Serie A Clash At Via Del Mare | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Manuel Akanji is reportedly at risk of missing Saturday’s Serie A clash against Lecce.

According to Calciomercato via FCInter1908, the Swiss defender could be another high-profile absentee at Stadio Via del Mare.

Despite making a cameo appearance against Juventus last weekend, Hakan Calhanoglu has renewed his muscle problem.

Therefore, he had to watch yesterday’s game against Bodo/Glimt from the sidelines.

Unfortunately, Inter suffered a fresh injury setback in Norway.

Lautaro Martinez picked up a calf problem last night, forcing Cristian Chivu to take him off in the second half.

Moreover, Piotr Zielinski took a knock, and his availability for Saturday’s fixture is hanging in the balance.

However, problems keep piling up for Chivu. Indeed, Inter could face Lecce without Akanji, who is not 100% fit.

Fatigue seems to be catching up with Inter players, and Chivu will have to carefully manage his resources.

If Akanji can’t make it, there’s a good chance that Yann Bisseck could return to the starting lineup.
