Cristian Chivu Prepares Double Midfield Change For Ajax Vs Inter Milan Starting XI | OneFootball

Davide Frattesi and Petar Sucic will reportedly be in Inter Milan’s starting line-up in tomorrow’s Champions League clash against Ajax.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, they will slot alongside Hakan Calhanoglu in the middle of the park.

Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will make way for fresh additions.

Indeed, both players pushed through their limits during Saturday’s clash against Juventus.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu plans to replace both of them.

Despite failing to start any of Inter’s three Serie A games this season, Frattesi will reportedly be in Chivu’s best XI tomorrow.

Indeed, the Italian star will take Barella’s place and feature as a box-to-box midfielder.

Meanwhile, Petar Sucic should dislodge Mkhitaryan, who fared well in Turin last weekend.

Unlike Frattesi, the 21-year-old was part of the starting line-up in the opening two Serie A rounds.

However, this will be his Champions League debut for Inter.

Finally, Calhanoglu has a guaranteed starting berth, especially following a superb performance against Juventus.
