Bodo/Glimt Vs Inter Milan – France & Italy Stars To Get The Nod In Attack | OneFootball

Inter Milan strikers Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram will reportedly lead the line in tonight’s high-stakes clash against Bodo/Glimt.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, captain Lautaro Martinez could surprisingly start from the bench.

Despite his Derby d’Italia antics, Alessandro Bastoni has a guaranteed starting berth.

Meanwhile, Cristian Chivu has yet to decide whether to start Manuel Akanji and Stefan de Vrij alongside the Italian center-back.

Further doubts come in midfield, where Chivu cannot count on Hakan Calhanoglu and Davide Frattesi.

Indeed, Piotr Zielinski seems likely to get some rest, with Nicolo Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Petar Sucic expected to start in the engine room.

Although Federico Dimarco has emerged as an essential part of Chivu’s setup, the Italian wingback could make way for Carlos Augusto.

Like Zielinski, Dimarco also needs a breather, so the Brazilian star could return to the starting lineup.

However, Luis Henrique will start on the opposite wing.

Finally, Thuram and Esposito are the likeliest candidates to start in attack, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Lautaro dropping to the bench.
