Inter Milan Vs AC Milan – Cristian Chivu Faces Three Selection Dilemmas For Serie A Blockbuster | OneFootball

Today is a special day for Inter boss Cristian Chivu as he is set to make his maiden touchline appearance in the famous Milan derby.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is struggling with three selection dilemmas for tonight.

Inter will be without several first-team stars, including Denzel Dumfries, Matteo Darmian, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Furthermore, Piotr Zielinski picked up a minor injury during the international break, compromising his chances of making the starting lineup this evening.

With Dumfries and Darmian out of the squad, Carlos Augusto has emerged as the likeliest candidate to start on the right.

Indeed, the former Monza ace has leapfrogged marquee summer signing Luis Henrique in the pecking order.

Meanwhile, Zielinski’s dubious fitness condition might force Chivu to hand Petar Sucic his first taste of the Milan derby.

Indeed, the Croatian starlet could get the nod in midfield.
