With Joao Miranda suspended, Inter manager Luciano Spalletti will be forced to change his centre back pairing for the first time this season for this weekend’s match with Chievo Verona.
Premium Sport report that Andrea Ranocchia is the front runner to replace the Brazilian and partner Milan Skriniar at the back.
Ranocchia would be granted his first start of the campaign where he has managed just five minutes of action due to the solid partnership that Miranda and Skriniar have formed since the Slovakian arrived at the club in the summer.
However, they further report that full back Danilo D’Ambrosio could instead be used as a central defender. Should this be the case, Yuto Nagatomo will play at right back in his place.
The Nerazzurri play host to the Flying Donkeys this Sunday with kick off scheduled for 14:00 local time. The Nerazzurri currently find themselves second in the table and are 16 points ahead of their opposition on Sunday who are in ninth themselves.
Don’t forget to prepare your heart’s drugs before the game.
I’d start with the Frog. Spaletti can make Naga better, why not Rano?
Yep, I can see Spalo pulling a Fazio on Rano. They are actually pretty similar type of CB and Rano always had the talent, Just lacked the mental consistency.
Shudder. On one side, Dumbo can’t jump to save his life, on the other side, Rano can jump, but with disastrous consequences.
Guaranteed Frog will start and do just fine. This is a team we have here and when one is out, the other will rise to the occasion. That is what good teams do.
Well at least we can see how we plays without the usual 11 this time..we can even do some experiment with cancelo or karamoh or dalbert
I personally would love to see that Milan Skriniar would be played as DM next fixture because he played the role really well last two games with his national team. If that happen, i think we will see a more balance midfield. And we can utilize Joao Cancelo as RB because he has said himself that he rather play in that role.
Agree, i’d love to see skriniar as DM, however we just dont have a good CB to replace him
Knowing Spaletti, he will start Rano in the center. There is also a small chance that he utilizes Santon as a DM to replace Gagliardini since the obvious choice ( Vecino) is also out. Seriously doubt if Spalletti start Borja-Mario-Brozo trio since it is too offensive but we will see…
Borja-Mario-Brozo is the most probable choice, but it will be to risky because we don’t have backup for them if they are get injury during the game. I have strong feeling we will use 4-4-1-1 with Eder starting behind Icardi.
And Borja-Mario partnership for CM spot, with Brozo as supersub.
It’s close to impossible to see Candreva, Perisic, Icardi, and Eder at the same time unless we are trailing.
He either would go Borja-Brozo as DMs (with Brozo doing a more defensive role like Gagliardini) and Mario as AM, or could use Santon covering for Gaglia as DM and starting Nagashit on the left.
I don’t believe santon has lungs to play as midfielder. In my opinion, starting 4-4-1-1 isn’t impossible since we play chievo at home, and we have tried to play eder behind icardi many times, so it is more familiar formation than put santon on the mid.
We will see… any of those two options are more offensive than the personnel we usually play with so I’m excited
