Three days until Genoa vs Inter and Spalletti has a few doubts about his eleven to face Ballardini’s eleven on the pitch on Saturday night, especially in defence. The only certainty of the coach is the absence, due to inury of Joao Miranda, who was subbed off during Inter-Bologna as a result of the elongation of the adductors in his left thigh. So who will line up alongside Milan Skriniar?

Before the match against Bologna, the hierarchy was clearly outlined. In the absence of either of the two starters, Andrea Ranocchia was always the replacement and has so far convinced Spalletti when called into duty, even in Florence, before he came off.

Although against Bologna, Spalletti opted for Lisandro Lopez and could take the Italians place on their trip to Genoa as Mirnada’s replacement. As underlined by Sky Sport, who could also expected a three man defence, as both are ready. The Argentine made his debut against Bologna for the Nerazzurri and displayed a degree of confidence after some initial uncertainty and even showed a bit of technical skill to get out of some high pressure situations.
