Atletico Madrid Vs Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu Considers Benching Swiss Goalkeeper After Disappointing Derby Performance | OneFootball

Yann Sommer could reportedly start Wednesday’s Champions League clash between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan on the bench.

According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, Cristian Chivu is considering benching his first-choice goalkeeper.

Despite sticking with Yann Sommer as his starting shot-stopper after September’s loss at Juventus, Chivu could make a change on Wednesday.

Indeed, the 36-year-old veteran produced another underwhelming performance in last night’s 1-0 loss to AC Milan.

Sommer’s disappointing reaction helped the Rossoneri topple Inter against the odds.

Though Sommer had made several promising performances before the international break, he faltered when Inter needed him most.

As a result of another grave mistake, the former Bayern Munich goalkeeper could lose his starting berth this midweek.

With Inter taking on Atletico Madrid in a high-stakes clash, Josep Martinez could return between the sticks.

The Spaniard’s last appearance dates back to late September.

Furthermore, he is still mentally recovering from a tragic car accident last month.
