Inter Milan Vs Bologna – Italian Veteran To Regain Starting Berth After Overcoming Muscle Injury | OneFootball

Inter Milan defensive stalwart Francesco Acerbi is reportedly in contention for the starting lineup ahead of Sunday’s clash against Bologna.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu is considering fielding the 37-year-old this weekend.

Therefore, he has missed the last two Serie A games, including Sunday’s narrow victory at Atalanta.

However, he resumed training yesterday and could return to the starting lineup as early as this weekend.

Yann Bisseck has fared reasonably well in Acerbi’s absence, even finding the back of the net against Genoa.

Despite his decent performances, the 25-year-old could make way for the former Lazio star on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Inter will be out to settle the score with Bologna and avenge a heartbreaking Supercoppa Italiana defeat.

Indeed, Vincenzo Italiano’s side knocked the Nerazzurri out of the competition after a dramatic penalty shootout.

Cristian Chivu could opt for experience at the back as Inter aim to strengthen their grip on the top spot in Serie A.
