Inter Milan Vs Como – Spanish Goalkeeper Could Start Again As Italy Defender Set To Be Evaluated | OneFootball

Josep Martinez will start in goal for Inter Milan’s Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como on Tuesday, with Alessandro Bastoni’s availability to be determined in a conversation between player and coach on the eve of the match.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Martinez played on Friday against Cagliari and will continue between the posts for the cup tie.

Indeed, with his involvement confirmed for both the semi-final and any potential final in Rome.

On Bastoni, the picture is more cautious but encouraging.

“The two will speak tomorrow, on the eve of the match, and will decide together on the best solution,” Gazzetta write.

The defender has trained at good intensity in recent days.

And, therefore, he is expected to declare himself available.

A return to the starting lineup alongside Akanji and Acerbi would not come as a surprise.

The stakes of Tuesday’s match extend beyond the semi-final itself.

Indeed, a victory over Fabregas’s side would give Chivu the chance to contest a final in Rome.

Furthermore, winning the Coppa Italia alongside the Scudetto would make Chivu only the second manager in Inter history to win a domestic double in his debut season.

Of course, following in the footsteps of José Mourinho in 2010.

Lautaro Martinez remains unavailable but is desperate for his teammates to reach the final.

Despite his absence, the captain’s desire to play in Rome is a powerful motivation.

Especially for those who take the field on Tuesday.
