Inter Milan Vs Como – French Midfielder In Contention For First Serie A Start After Impressive Coppa Italia Performance | OneFootball

Andy Diouf could make his first Serie A start on Sunday when Inter Milan take on Como at Stadio San Siro.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Frenchman has overtaken Luis Henrique in the pecking order.

It’s been a difficult start to life in Italian football for Andy Diouf.

Indeed, the 22-year-old has spent most of the first half of the season on the margins.

However, Cristian Chivu may have found a way to integrate the former Lens star into his starting lineup.

Diouf deputized for the injured Denzel Dumfries last night against Venezia and left a telling impression.

In addition to breaking the deadlock with his first goal in Inter colors, Diouf put on an outstanding performance.

Furthermore, the Frenchman showed glimpses of his potential in last weekend’s 2-0 win at Pisa.

That time, he came off the bench, replacing Henrique, who had another torrid match.

With Dumfries still injured, this could be Diouf’s chance to establish himself as a vital first-team member at San Siro.
