Inter coach Luciano Spalletti and his AC Milan counterpart, Gennaro Gattuso have decided to field the following 22 players for tonight’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal clash at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district.
Both coaches have made many surprising selections, starting with Inter who plays Handanovic in goal instead of Padelli, whilst Gigio Donnarumma is not even on the bench, with Storari starting instead of him in AC Milan’s goal.
Spalletti has opted for Gagliardini and Vecino in the middle of the pitch whilst Joao Mario plays behind Mauro Icardi up front who is flanked by Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva. Andrea Ranocchia starts next to Milan Skriniar with Yuto Nagatomo to their left.
