Atalanta Vs Inter Milan – German Defender At Risk Of Being Benched After Supercoppa Blunder | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Yann Bisseck could reportedly start Sunday’s mammoth Serie A showdown against Atalanta on the bench.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, it could be his punishment for a dismal performance against Bologna last Friday.

Yann Bisseck gave away a cheap penalty in Inter’s heartbreaking Supercoppa Italiana defeat last week.

Indeed, the 25-year-old handled the ball inside his own penalty area, allowing Riccardo Orsolini to draw Bologna level.

Unfortunately, Vincenzo Italiano’s side went on to eliminate the Nerazzurri from the competition after a dramatic penalty shootout.

Cristian Chivu has taken a merit-based approach, often punishing players for costly mistakes.

For example, Stefan de Vrij has tumbled down the pecking order after his disjointed performance against Royale Union SG.

Meanwhile, Bisseck could face the same fate, even though that’s the luxury Chivu cannot afford at the moment.

After losing Francesco Acerbi to injury, the 45-year-old manager has limited defensive options.

Therefore, benching the German center-back would come as a surprise given Inter’s current defensive shortcomings.
