Inter Vs Atletico Madrid: Quartet Given Chance To Impress Chivu In Friendly Outing | OneFootball

Inter Milan’s friendly clash with Atletico Madrid will serve as a valuable test for several Nerazzurri looking to climb the pecking order under Cristian Chivu.

Chivu wants to see greater confidence and initiative from those on the fringes of his plans.

Martinez has featured twice in Serie A so far, while Luis Henrique has yet to start a match in the Champions League.

The Brazilian is being asked to show more cutting edge in attack.

Bisseck, meanwhile, hopes to rebuild trust after inconsistent form.

The defender was below par against Udinese but solid in the recent win over Slavia Prague.

Diouf is also under evaluation.

The French midfielder showed flashes of promise in short cameos against Torino and Cremonese.

However, he also lost the ball leading to the Cremonese’s consolation goal.

Diouf could be deployed either as a mezzala in a 3-5-2 or a trequartista in a 3-4-2-1.

Acerbi, Darmian, Mkhitaryan and Bonny are also expected to start, though they are already more established within Chivu’s rotation.
