Talismanic Inter Milan Duo Set To Feature Against Bodo/Glimt In Champions League After Picking Up Serie A Suspensions | OneFootball

Inter Milan will travel to Norway on Wednesday to face Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, braving temperatures expected to reach -5°C, with wind chills dropping to -12°C.

The match will be played on the synthetic surface of the Aspmyra Stadion.

Indeed, where Cristian Chivu held a final training session to allow the players to test the conditions.

With both Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella serving suspensions in Serie A, the duo are set to start in Europe, providing Inter with their usual midfield intelligence and drive.

Despite only returning from injury yesterday, both players picked up cards in the 3-2 win against Juventus.

It was a fierce Derby d’Italia and the cards mean the duo will miss their next league game.

Therefore, both will be more or less guaranteed to start against Bodo, per Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.

“Both are fit and ready, and their experience in controlling matches will be vital against a side that thrives on counter-attacks,” sources told Tuttosport.

Attack-wise, the coach is expected to rotate his forwards.

“Esposito and Bonny have never started together in the same fixture. So it’s unlikely for such a pairing to debut in a crucial European match. Lautaro and Thuram will therefore split minutes between Europe and Lecce,” the report adds.

Chivu’s approach aims to balance freshness with tactical cohesion.

Therefore ensuring Inter maintain their momentum in both domestic and European competitions.

Especially as the season reaches a decisive phase.
