Inter Milan Predicted XI Vs Verona – Chivu To Rest Stars Before Champions League Clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan could make several changes for Sunday’s Serie A trip to Verona, as Yann Bisseck may be confirmed in the starting lineup, while Alessandro Bastoni and one of Hakan Calhanoglu or Nicolo Barella could be handed a rest.

According to Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, with upcoming matches against Kairat in the Champions League and Lazio at San Siro before the international break, Cristian Chivu is expected to rotate carefully.

Marcus Thuram has returned to partial training but is not guaranteed to be included in the squad.

Therefore, leaving Lautaro Martinez, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito as the only fully available forwards.

“The Frenchman seems the most likely to start after being benched against Fiorentina,” notes the report.

Lautaro could still feature from the start despite recent fatigue, having started the last eight matches.

Chivu is expected to rely on his captain one more time before giving him a breather in Europe.

The newspaper adds that the Champions League clash with Kairat Almaty is, on paper, Inter’s easiest opponent.

Therefore, we could see the first start for the Bonny-Esposito duo.

Probable XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Bonny, Lautaro.
