Inter Milan Vs Kairat Almaty – French Starlet & Italy Teenage Sensation Start Together For The First Time | OneFootball

Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito could form an attacking partnership in tonight’s match between Inter Milan and Kairat Almaty.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the young duo could start together for the first time this season.

Despite Marcus Thuram’s return to the fold, the Frenchman will most probably start on the bench.

Indeed, the 28-year-old is lacking match fitness after spending the last 40 days on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez needs rest after making eight competitive starts on the trot.

Bonny faltered in Inter’s late 2-1 Serie A win over Hellas Verona last Sunday, leaving the field after only 55 minutes.

However, Cristian Chivu believes the 22-year-old could get back on track against the Champions League debutants.

Therefore, the former Parma striker could make another start tonight, with Pio Esposito expected to join him in the final third.

Furthermore, Davide Frattesi is on the verge of returning to the starting XI at the expense of Hakan Calhanoglu.

Indeed, the Turkish superstar must rest after starting virtually every game since the beginning of the season.
