Genoa Vs Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu Forced Into Tough Choices After Double Injury Blow Against Liverpool | OneFootball

Inter Milan return to Serie A action on Sunday, heading to Stadio Luigi Ferraris to face bottom-half Genoa.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, Cristian Chivu will be without several first-team regulars at Marassi.

In addition to suffering a late defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday, Inter lost two crucial players in the first half.

Indeed, muscular problems prompted Chivu to replace Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi already in the first half.

Therefore, the injured duo will not be in contention for the team this weekend.

Calhanoglu and Acerbi have joined a growing list of absentees at San Siro.

Indeed, Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian have been on the sidelines for over a month.

As such, Chivu is facing several selection dilemmas.

Carlos Augusto and Luis Henrique are likely to fight for a starting berth on the right wing.

Meanwhile, Yann Bisseck is expected to claim Acerbi’s place at the back.

However, it’s uncertain who will replace Calhanoglu, with Piotr Zielinski and Petar Sucic vying for the one remaining midfield spot.
