Cagliari Vs Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Rotation Looms As Key Men Return To XI | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu is reportedly set to bring Yann Sommer and Lautaro Martinez back into his starting eleven against Cagliari on Saturday evening.

According to Tuttosport, Chivu will make a number of changes for tonight’s visit to Sardinia.

Firstly, Chivu will rest Denzel Dumfries, as has been reported by a number of other sources.

In his place, Tuttosport claim the Romanian will choose between Luis Henrique and Matteo Darmian.

Henrique is yet to make a start since his arrival from Marseille in the summer.

Meanwhile, Darmian offers a more experienced option for Chivu.

Chivu will bring Yann Sommer back into his lineup, to rotate with Josep Martinez.

The Spaniard made his first start of the season in goal against Sassuolo last weekend but now Chivu looks set to switch back to the Swiss international.

Lautaro Martinez also returns to Chivu’s lineup, after playing a reduced role lately due to back pain.

In the midfield, Tuttosport claim that Chivu will select Barella, Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

However, the newspaper notes that Petar Sucic is a potential option instead of Mkhitaryan; Chivu having the option of youth or experience in his third midfield slot.
