Official Starting Lineups – Inter Milan Vs Slavia Prague: Yann Bisseck & Petar Sucic Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu has decided to start Petar Sucic and Yann Bisseck against Slavia Prague. This evening’s Champions League Match Day 2 clash kicks off at 21:00 CEST at the San Siro.

After beating Ajax on Cristian Chivu’s touchline debut in the Champions League, Inter take on Slavia Prague on home turf.

Given the importance of the three points, Cristian Chivu has decided to field all of his heavy hitters.

Indeed, after recovering from a back injury, Lautaro Martinez will make his first European start of the season.

With El Toro back to full fitness, Francesco Pio Esposito will drop to the bench.

Firstly, the big team news ahead of the match is that Yann Bisseck will return to the starting lineup for the first time since August.

Indeed, the German defender last featured for Inter in a 2-1 home loss to Udinese in Serie A.

Therefore, he is ready to make his second appearance of the season.

Bisseck’s return means Manuel Akanji starts on the bench after the good performance against Cagliari.

In addition to Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi will regain his place in defense at the expense of Stefan de Vrij.

As such, Alessandro Bastoni starts on the left side of Inter’s back three.

Another couple of pre-match question marks surrounded the midfield and the left-hand side.

Despite performing well in Sardinia, Henrikh Mkhitaryan loses his place to Petar Sucic.

Furthermore, Piotr Zielinski starts. Therefore, Davide Frattesi and Nicolo Barella are benched.

Meanwhile, on the left-hand side, Federico Dimarco takes Carlos Augusto’s place. Therefore, the Brazilian drops to the bench.

Moreover, Denzel Dumfries gets the nod on the right wing, with Luis Henrique benched.

In attack, Marcus Thuram starts alongside Lautaro Martinez. Therefore, Ange-Yoan Bonny must wait for his first Nerazzurri start.
