Inter Milan Vs Liverpool – Armenian Veteran Starts In Midfield: Ex Marseille Winger Set To Start On Right Flank | OneFootball

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Luis Henrique look set to start in Inter Milan’s high-stakes Champions League home clash against Liverpool tonight.

According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Armenian veteran is in line for his first competitive start since October.

Inter lost Henrikh Mkhitaryan to a thigh injury during a controversial 3-1 Serie A defeat at Napoli nearly two months ago.

However, the 36-year-old has regained full fitness, putting himself back at Cristian Chivu’s disposal.

Therefore, he’s ready to take Piotr Zielinski’s place in the engine room this evening.

Chivu remains without his starting right-back, Denzel Dumfries.

Meanwhile, Luis Henrique, who has started to find his footing after an awful start, could fill the Dutchman’s shoes.

Indeed, the Brazilian winger put in a fantastic performance against Como on Saturday, registering his first assist in Serie A.

Now, Chivu could reward the former Marseille star with his first-ever Champions League start in the Nerazzurri jersey.

Yet, Carlos Augusto remains firmly in contention for the starting berth.
