Brazilian Winger Set To Start For Inter Milan In Pisa Trip As Dutch Star Ruled Out | OneFootball

Luis Henrique could be handed a starting spot in the absence of Denzel Dumfries on Sunday as Inter prepare for their trip to Pisa.

With Dumfries still sidelined by an ankle problem, Sky Sport report, via FCInterNews, that the Brazilian is under serious consideration to start on the right flank.

Carlos Augusto has been used as an emergency option in that role, making two consecutive starts.

However, Inter may rotate to give him a rest.

That opens the door for Henrique, who has impressed Chivu with his energy and directness in recent sessions.

However, this came after a shaky start to life in Lombardy after his move from Marseille in the summer.

Another change is expected up front. Marcus Thuram is set to return to the starting XI.

The French forward is likely to replace Ange-Yoan Bonny and reunite with Lautaro Martinez in attack, restoring Inter’s first-choice partnership.

Chivu must balance injuries, minutes and workload, but Sunday’s match presents an opportunity for Henrique to stake a claim.

His pace on the wing could become a key tactical element against Pisa’s aggressive defensive structure.
