According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu is considering a major overhaul for this evening’s game at San Siro.

Inter Milan will take on second-tier Venezia in the Round of 16, heading into the match as odds-on favorites to reach the quarter-finals.

Teenage wingback Matteo Cocchi is reportedly in contention for his maiden senior start in the Nerazzurri shirt.

Meanwhile, Luis Henrique should retain his place on the right wing despite another disappointing performance against Parma.

Despite impressing on the wing, Andy Diouf is likely to start in his natural position in the middle of the park.

Furthermore, Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu could make way for Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi.
