Como Vs Inter Milan – Five Players In The Running For Two Attacking Midfielder Spots As Chivu Transitions To 3-4-2-1 | OneFootball

Inter Milan will take on Como at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final tomorrow.

According to Corriere della Sera via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri could finally line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Despite vowing to deviate from Simone Inzaghi’s trademark 3-5-2 setup upon arrival, Cristian Chivu has not lived up to his promise.

Indeed, with Inter failing to sign Ademola Lookman in the summer, the 45-year-old has decided against making this change.

However, he is ready to experiment tomorrow.

With Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny injured, Inter will transition to a 3-4-2-1 formation tomorrow.

Therefore, out-of-form Marcus Thuram could start on the bench, with Francesco Pio Esposito expected to lead the line.

Meanwhile, five players are competing for the two available spots behind the lone striker.

Indeed, Davide Frattesi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Andy Diouf, Luis Henrique, and Piotr Zielinski are the men in question.

It would be exciting to see the Brazilian start in this role, given that he was outstanding in advanced positions at Marseille last term.
