Croatia Midfielder Set To Start Again For Inter Against Pisa After Solid Display Against Arsenal | OneFootball

Inter Milan host Pisa at San Siro with the clear aim of defending top spot, and Cristian Chivu appears ready to trust Sucic again.

According to Sky Sport, via FCInterNews, the Croatian midfielder is in line to start after his solid display against Arsenal.

However, Chivu still has two selection decisions to make. In defence, Akanji and De Vrij remain locked in a direct battle for a starting role.

Elsewhere at the back, Yann Bisseck and Carlos Augusto should both feature, while Alessandro Bastoni is likely to rest.

Meanwhile, the second doubt concerns Inter’s attack. Lautaro Martinez is the favourite to start and should partner Francesco Pio Esposito.

As a result, Ange-Yoan Bonny looks set to begin on the bench once again. Esposito is ready to return from the first minute after sitting out the Arsenal match in the Champions League.

Elsewhere, the rest of the lineup appears settled. Luis Henrique and Federico Dimarco should control the flanks and provide width.

In midfield, Nicolò Barella is expected to operate as the central reference point. He should line up alongside Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
