Inter Milan Vs Pisa – Cristian Chivu To Make 8 Starting XI Changes Compared To Arsenal Clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly looking to make up to eight changes to his starting lineup for Friday’s match against Pisa.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old coach could change his entire backline after Tuesday’s disjointed performance against Arsenal.

The Nerazzurri will be out to maintain their impressive nine-game unbeaten run in Serie A against one of the division’s weakest sides.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu is keen to make amends for a 3-1 Champions League defeats to the Gunners earlier this week.

Carlos Augusto, Stefan de Vrij, and Yann Bisseck could reportedly start at the back at the expense of Alessandro Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi, and Manuel Akanji.

Furthermore, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi might start in the middle of the park, with Piotr Zielinski expected to deputize for Hakan Calhanoglu.

Last but not least, Chivu is considering benching Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.

Therefore, Francesco Pio Esposito could partner up with Ange-Yoan Bonny in the final third following a decent cameo appearance against Arsenal.
