Inter Milan Cannot Imagine Life Without Two First-Team Pillars Despite Fatigue Concerns Ahead Of Barcelona Blockbuster | OneFootball

Inter Milan have heavily relied on Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella to spearhead the club’s busted ‘treble’ charge this season.

Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, there’s no alternative for the two Nerazzurri stalwarts.

Indeed, Lautaro and Barella have been the pillars of Inter’s pursuit of major honors.

With no reliable backup options, Simone Inzaghi has had no choice but to squeeze every ounce of energy from the pair.

This over-reliance has started to take a toll down the final stretch of the season.

Though the Nerazzurri locker room remains united, alarm bells are ringing ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Barcelona.

Fatigue is seemingly catching up with the San Siro outfit.

For instance, Inter lost Benjamin Pavard to injury against Roma last weekend.

Meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries has finally recovered and will dislodge Matteo Darmian on the right wing.

On the opposite flank, Carlos Augusto has proved capable of filling in for Federico Dimarco.

So much so he could start at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
