Ex Barcelona Goalkeeper Ready For Inter Milan Chance Against Bologna In Supercoppa | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu has publicly confirmed one change to his Inter line-up for tonight’s Supercoppa clash against Bologna, with Josep Martinez set to start in goal.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, the former Barcelona goalkeeper will be handed his opportunity between the posts.

Indeed, as Inter continue to manage minutes across the squad and prepare for life without Yann Sommer.

Martinez is the only alteration announced openly by the coach.

However, the build-up has also pointed towards further adjustments in other areas of the pitch ahead of the 20:00 kick-off.

On the right flank, there is a late decision to be made between Luis Henrique and Diouf, with the former currently edging the contest.

In midfield, Hakan Calhanoglu is once again available after returning to full fitness.

However, the expectation is that the Turkish international will begin the match on the bench.

The clearest indication of Chivu’s approach, however, comes in attack.

Inter are set to rely on an all-French partnership.

Marcus Thuram is expected to start alongside Ange-Yoan Bonny.

The pairing reflects the coach’s willingness to rotate his forwards.

Indeed, rather than to lean exclusively on his captain in a demanding schedule.

Overall, the signs point to controlled rotation rather than wholesale change, as Inter look to balance freshness with continuity in a Supercoppa fixture that still carries significant prestige.
