Inter Milan Vs Lazio – Italy Veteran Hands Nerazzurri Huge Fitness Boost | OneFootball

Matteo Darmian will reportedly be at Cristian Chivu’s disposal for the upcoming Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Lazio.

According to FCInterNews, the veteran defender has resumed full training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Inter Milan scraped their way to a narrow 2-1 home win over Kairat Almaty last night.

Therefore, they’ve maintained their perfect Champions League start under Cristian Chivu.

Furthermore, the San Siro giants have now won three consecutive matches, boosting their spirits ahead of Lazio’s visit.

Marcus Thuram made a brief cameo appearance against Kairat after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Now, the Frenchman could make his first competitive start since late September.

Meanwhile, Chivu can also call upon Darmian, who sustained an injury during Inter’s win at Roma in mid-October.

Despite falling in the pecking order, the 35-year-old remains a valuable asset for the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, his versatility allows Chivu to use him in multiple positions across the backline, providing both depth and experience when needed.
