Inter, concern over Akanji: Chivu considers a last-minute withdrawal | OneFootball

On the eve of the Champions League clash against Liverpool, an unexpected issue has arisen at Inter that could complicate Cristian Chivu’s plans: Manuel Akanji is dealing with the flu and his presence is uncertain.

Inter, anxiety over Akanji: Chivu considering a last-minute withdrawal

Alarm bells are ringing for Inter just hours before the crucial European match. Manuel Akanji missed the morning training session due to the flu, putting his call-up for tomorrow’s match against Liverpool in doubt. The staff will assess his condition in the coming hours, but the final decision will only be made tomorrow morning, when Chivu will decide whether to risk him or keep him out.

If the Swiss defender is forced to withdraw, the Nerazzurri coach already has alternatives ready. The main candidate to replace him is Yann Bisseck, who would play on the right side of the defense. Francesco Acerbi would be confirmed in the center, while Alessandro Bastoni would remain in charge of the left flank of the back line.

The hope of recovering Akanji is still alive, especially in a match where experience and defensive solidity will be crucial. But Inter will not take unnecessary risks: the verdict will come only in the hours immediately preceding kickoff.
