Inter will take no risks, that is a good way to sum up the Inter approach to tomorrow’s game against Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the city’s Marassi district. Unless it is 100% sure that major injuries can be avoided, Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic will not be called up for the game. Today will be a decisive day for both of them, who trained separately yesterday.
According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport “Spalletti is ready to, for the third consecutive time, play Eder should Icardi not be 100%. If Perisic, for the first time this year, should miss the game, Spalletti has a couple of options. There is the 4-2-3-1 with Rafinha as a midfielder. Candreva would return to the right and Karamoh would take Perisic’s place at the left in front of the defense with Gagliardini-Vecino-Valero as midfielders.”
The Gazzett reports further that “Then there is the 4-3-1-2 option that we could see against Bologna where Candreva could play as trequartista instead of Rafinha with Karamoh alongside Eder with Valero in the middle and Gagliardini and Vecino on the flanks. In the case of Joao Miranda, time will tell, if he cannot play there is a competition between Ranocchia and Lisandro Lopez about the second center back position alongsinde Milan Skriniar.”
Inter’s starting eleven according to Gazzetta dello Sport:
Inter (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; Cancelo, Skriniar, Ranocchia, D’Ambrosio; Gagliardini, Vecino; Candreva, Rafinha, Karamoh; Eder.
