Argentine Megastar A Doubt For Inter Milan Supercoppa Clash With Bologna | OneFootball

Inter could line up with several changes for the Supercoppa clash against Bologna, with Italian media suggesting a significant rotation from the side that faced Genoa, with Lautaro Martinez potentially starting from the bench.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Cristian Chivu is seriously considering resting his captain, leaving the Argentine star in doubt for the match.

In goal, Josep Martinez is expected to start.

Meanwhile Stefan de Vrij is set to return in defence alongside Alessandro Bastoni and Manuel Akanji.

The biggest talking point, however, concerns the attack.

Chivu is weighing up whether to give his leading scorer a breather, at least from the start.

The report notes that the Romanian coach has taken extra time to decide and will only communicate his final choices during the technical meeting ahead of kick-off.

Up front, the Thuram–Bonny partnership is increasingly likely to start together for the first time.

The two forwards have shared the pitch for just 86 minutes so far this season.

Therefore making the potential pairing a notable development.

Chivu has consistently stressed the interchangeability of his attacking options, insisting that any combination is possible depending on the needs of the match.

If the decision to rest his captain is confirmed, it would simply reinforce that philosophy.

Indeed, rather than signalling any wider concern.

Context from the recent win over Genoa also supports this scenario.

Thuram only entered the fray midway through the second half.

Meanwhile Bonny remained unused for the full 90 minutes.

Therefore suggesting both are fresh and ready to lead the line.
