Parma Vs Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu To Make Triple Starting XI Change Ahead Of Napoli Showdown | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is looking to make a triple change to his starting lineup for tonight’s Serie A clash against Parma.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Romanian coach is keen to keep his players fresh for the upcoming match against Napoli.

Despite Inter’s dominant 3-1 home win against Bologna on Sunday, Chivu is contemplating several tweaks.

Indeed, Francesco Pio Esposito is likely to return to the starting lineup for the first time since mid-December.

Therefore, Marcus Thuram could make way for the 20-year-old striker.

In addition to Esposito, Carlos Augusto is on the verge of returning to the starting eleven.

However, the Brazilian wingback won’t dislodge Federico Dimarco on the left wing.

Instead, he’s expected to take Alessandro Bastoni’s place in the back three and line up alongside Francesco Acerbi and Yann Bisseck.

Finally, veteran midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan might regain his place in the engine room at the expense of Piotr Zielinski.
