Inter, Acerbi back in contention: Chivu regains a key option in defence | OneFootball

Good news for Inter ahead of a packed January schedule. As reported by Sky Sport, Francesco Acerbi is once again available to Cristian Chivu and can be used again starting from the next league match.

Inter, Acerbi back in action: Chivu regains a key defensive option

The 1988-born center-back has rejoined the group and represents an important asset for the Nerazzurri coach, who can now count on greater experience and reliability in the defensive line. Against Atalanta, the defensive trio of Bisseck, Akanji, and Bastoni delivered a top-level performance, which is why Chivu may choose to gradually reintroduce Acerbi.

The defender’s return, however, opens up interesting scenarios for the upcoming tightly scheduled matches. Between Bologna (January 4), Parma (January 7), and Napoli (January 11), Acerbi could even return to the starting lineup, giving his teammates a breather and increasing defensive rotations.

This is a crucial aspect considering the month of January awaiting Inter: a total of eight matches, six in the league and two in the Champions League. In this context, Acerbi’s availability allows Chivu to better manage the squad’s energy, keeping the level of competitiveness high in all competitions.
