Inter Milan Vs Kairat Almaty – Dilemma In Goal As Spanish Goalkeeper Could Start For The First Time Since Tragic Car Accident | OneFootball

Josep Martinez could reportedly take Yann Sommer’s place in goal when Inter Milan take on Kairat Almaty on Wednesday night.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu is considering giving the Spaniard his first start since a tragic car accident.

Yann Sommer has regained his starting berth following his underwhelming performance against Juventus in September.

However, the veteran goalkeeper failed to impress again in Inter’s nerve-shredding 2-1 win at Hellas Verona last weekend.

Josep Martinez was involved in a fatal car accident last weekend, which resulted in the death of an 81-year-old elderly man.

Despite that tragic event, the 27-year-old could return between the sticks sooner than expected.

Indeed, after returning to training at Appiano Gentile, the former Genoa stopper could make his first competitive appearance after the accident.

Martinez could dislodge Sommer in goal when Champions League debutants Kairat Almaty arrive at San Siro tomorrow.
