Bodo/Glimt Vs Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu Plots Huge Starting Lineup Overhaul | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is weighing multiple adjustments to his starting XI ahead of tonight’s clash with Bodo/Glimt.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, Alessandro Bastoni will start despite recent off-field turmoil.

Cristian Chivu is reluctant to bench his standout star, given the high-stakes nature of the contest.

However, he has yet to decide whether to put Francesco Acerbi at the heart of his backline.

Furthermore, Manuel Akanji, Yann Bisseck, and Matteo Darmain are all vying for the spot on the right.

With Hakan Calhanoglu and Davide Frattesi in the pits, Chivu has several decisions to make in midfield.

Indeed, Piotr Zielinski desperately needs some rest, meaning Nicolo Barella could operate as a deep-lying playmaker.

Meanwhile, Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are likely to complete the midfield trio.

Elsewhere, Carlos Augusto and Luis Henrique could start on the wings.

Finally, Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Pio Esposito have emerged as the likeliest candidates to spearhead Inter’s attack.
