Roma Vs Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu Trusts French Striker To Partner Lautaro Martinez In Attack | OneFootball

Ange-Yoan Bonny has emerged as the leading candidate to partner up with Lautaro Martinez in the upcoming Serie A clash between Roma and Inter Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Frenchman could get the nod over Francesco Pio Esposito.

With Marcus Thuram yet to recover from a thigh injury, Cristian Chivu has a decision to make.

Indeed, Lautaro Martinez will definitely lead the line despite returning late from international duty.

Therefore, Chivu must decide whether to play Bonny or Esposito alongside his talismanic captain.

Therefore, he has stayed at Appiano Gentile during the international break.
