Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu reportedly faces a crucial selection dilemma as the Derby della Madonnina approaches.

Fresh off a 2-0 home win over Lazio, Inter will take on arch-rivals AC Milan at San Siro immediately after the international break.

Moreover, this clash has all the makings of a top-table six-pointer, with only two points separating the sides ahead of the kick-off.

Alessandro Bastoni has cemented his place in the starting lineup following an impressive performance against Lazio.

Meanwhile, Manuel Akanji has been remarkable since joining the club from Manchester City on deadline day.

Therefore, the Swiss center-back also has a guaranteed starting berth.

However, Chivu has yet to decide whether to stick with Francesco Acerbi as his third central defender.

Indeed, Yann Bisseck and Stefan de Vrij are vying for the same spot.

Interestingly, all three players have stayed at Appiano Gentile during the international break.

As such, Chivu can closely assess their form and fitness in training before making a final decision.
