Christian Eriksen could start tomorrow’s Derby della Madonnina if not a good part of the game according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The attacking midfielder has returned to Inter full of self-esteem and an even stronger desire to establish himself at Inter following his exploits whilst on national team duty with Denmark over the past week or so.
Eriksen has recently made it clear that he does not want to sit on the bench at Inter and this report claims that he is vying for a starting shirt against AC Milan with Marcelo Brozovic.
In the event that Eriksen is not granted what would be a rare opportunity to start, he could be a beneficiary of the current crisis at Inter due to many players being absent due to COVID-19 therefore when Conte turns to the bench to make changes he will see Eriksen and little else in the way of options.
