Official Starting Lineups – Pisa Vs Inter Milan: Luis Henrique Steps In For Dumfries | OneFootball

Inter Milan have confirmed their starting lineup for today’s Serie A trip to Pisa, with Cristian Chivu turning to Luis Henrique on the right flank in the continued absence of Denzel Dumfries.

The match kicks off at 14:00 GMT (15:00 Local Time) in Pisa.

The Nerazzurri arrive in Tuscany needing three points after setbacks against Milan and Atletico Madrid.

Pisa are unbeaten in six and represent a difficult hurdle, while yesterday’s results for Milan and Juventus only increase the pressure on Inter to respond.

Chivu regains Henrikh Mkhitaryan but loses Ange-Yoan Bonny to illness, depriving Inter of their most in-form striker.

The coach is expected to restore several key players to the XI, with Francesco Acerbi, Petar Sucic and Marcus Thuram all set to return from the start.

Mkhitaryan has been out for around a month, whilst Thuram has only recently returned from an injury that saw him sidelined for five weeks.

Therefore, these players returning to fitness and availability is a significant boost for Chivu.

The main talking point comes on the right flank, where Luis Henrique is in line to start ahead of Carlos Augusto.

With Dumfries and Darmian both unavailable, the Brazilian offers pace and directness in a role that has caused Inter problems in recent matches.

Federico Dimarco keeps his place on the left, while Calhanoglu anchors a midfield completed by Barella and Sucic.

At the back, Chivu leans on experience with Acerbi between Akanji and Bastoni, though Yann Bisseck remains an option after his strong Champions League showing.

Lautaro Martinez again leads the line alongside Thuram as Inter push for a vital away victory.
