Skriniar, de Vrij & Bastoni To Form Inter’s Defence In Coppa Italia Clash With Napoli

For the time being it looks like Inter’s back line against Napoli will consist of Milan Skriniar, Alessandro Bastoni and Stefan de Vrij according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, which was aired a short time ago.

Skriniar has always been a certainty to start whilst Bastoni and de Vrij were initially doubtful due to both having muscle problems.

Bastoni has completely recovered from his injury whilst de Vrij is near enough there and the chances of him playing are growing and growing. Should, for any reason, the Dutchman be unable to play, Andrea Ranocchia will play instead.

The report goes on to add that Inter should play in a 3-4-1-2 system opposed to the 3-5-2 system they have almost exclusively used throughout this campaign.

Inter January transfer window recruit Christian Eriksen is currently favoured to Stefano Sensi to start in behind strikers Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez in the attacking midfield slot.
