Inter Milan Vs Fiorentina – Several Lineup Changes Expected As Injury List Grows | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu could make several changes to his starting lineup for the upcoming Serie A game against Fiorentina.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is contemplating rotations across several positions in defense and midfield.

In addition to a string of mistakes made by referee Maurizio Mariani, fatigue tormented Inter during a 3-1 loss at Napoli on Saturday.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri lost veteran midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to a hamstring injury midway through the first half.

Therefore, the former Roma ace has joined long-term absentee Marcus Thuram on the sidelines.

With Mkhitaryan unavailable, either Petar Sucic or Piotr Zielinski will likely fill the vacancy in the middle of the park.

Though Zielinski took the Armenian’s place at the Maradona, it’s hard to exclude Sucic’s return to the starting eleven.

Meanwhile, Francesco Acerbi could surrender his place at the heart of Inter’s backline to Stefan de Vrij.

Moreover, Carlos Augusto is expected to regain his starting spot at the expense of either Alessandro Bastoni or Federico Dimarco.

Finally, Ange-Yoan Bonny could make way for Francesco Pio Esposito in the final.
