Inter Milan Vs Cagliari – Dutch Veteran & French Striker In Line For Rare Serie A Starts | OneFootball

Stefan de Vrij and Ange-Yoan Bonny could reportedly return to the starting lineup when Inter Milan face Cagliari on Friday.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu is looking to rest several first-team stars ahead of a decisive clash against Como.

Inter Milan have enjoyed a dream return to Serie A action after the March international break.

Indeed, Chivu’s men claimed six points in their last two league matches against Roma and Como.

Therefore, they head into the final six rounds of fixtures boasting a nine-point lead over second-placed Napoli.

Meanwhile, they’re potentially 90 minutes away from reaching the Coppa Italia final.

De Vrij & Bonny to Start in Inter Milan vs Cagliari Clash

After a scoreless first-leg draw at the Sinigaglia Stadium, Inter will host Como at San Siro in the return leg of their semi-final tie next Tuesday.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri are currently unable to count on Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Yann Bisseck.

As such, Chivu is keen to avoid further injury concerns ahead of Como’s visit to Giuseppe Meazza.

De Vrij, whose last Serie A start came in a 2-0 win over Genoa in late February, could get the nod ahead of Francesco Acerbi.

Indeed, the 38-year-old needs rest after making back-to-back league starts for the first time in 2026.

On the other hand, Bonny may take Francesco Pio Esposito’s place in attack and partner up with resurgent Marcus Thuram.
