Inter, Chivu’s choices for the derby: Carlos Augusto favored, Lautaro–Thuram duo returns

The anticipation is building for the Milan derby on Sunday, November 23 at 8:45 PM, a match that means much more than just three points. At Inter, Chivu has to do without Dumfries, who is out due to an ankle problem: on the right flank, the favorite to replace him is Carlos Augusto, who is ahead of Luis Henrique thanks to his excellent form and his ability to push forward consistently.

In defense, the duel between Acerbi and Bisseck for the central role is still alive. The experience of the former Lazio player gives him a slight edge, but the physicality and exuberance of the young German remain credible options until the last moment. In midfield, there could be a surprise with Sucic: the Croatian is ahead in the pecking order compared to Zielinski, thanks to a very positive week of training. There are no doubts, however, in the attacking department: the starting duo of Lautaro Martínez – Thuram returns from the first minute, the most feared pair in the league for their movement, understanding, and ability to strike in depth. They will lead the Nerazzurri assault in a derby that promises intensity, duels, and adrenaline until the final whistle.
