Inter Milan Head Coach Considers Right-Back Options Ahead Of Tricky Fixture List | OneFootball

With a busy schedule looming, Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu faces a crucial decision on who will fill the right-back spot in the upcoming matches with Luis Henrique, Andy Diouf, and Carlos Augusto all in contention for the role.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Henrique and Diouf both played 90 minutes in Coppa Italia against Venezia.

Meanwhile, Carlos Augusto was substituted at the 60th minute, preserving energy for the final stretch.

These factors are expected to weigh heavily in Chivu’s decision-making process.

Diouf’s recent performances have given him a boost in the rotation, as he has shown adaptability and attacking threat on the right flank.

Meanwhile, Henrique offers defensive solidity and experience, and Augusto provides versatility, capable of covering both defensive and midfield roles when needed.

This tactical conundrum is set to continue in the near future.

With both Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian still recovering, Chivu will have to rely on this trio against Como.

However, also in high-profile fixtures against Liverpool and Genoa before the Supercoppa in Saudi Arabia.

The coach’s challenge will be balancing player fitness and form while maintaining consistency in results.

Ultimately, Inter’s right flank remains a point of strategic focus.

Indeed, how Chivu rotates Henrique, Diouf, and Augusto could influence the team’s performance during this critical period.

The flexibility and depth of the squad may prove crucial.

Especially as the Nerazzurri navigate a congested fixture list while pushing for success domestically and in Europe.
