Italian football journalist Fabrizio Biasin has dismissed the idea in the media that there is a battle between Nicolo Barella and Christian Eriksen for a place in the starting line-up by ironically stating that the duo can in fact play together on the pitch.

Following Saturday’s 2-0 win over Genoa, media outlets began claiming that there was duel between the two players for a starting shirt but Biasin, who is a known Inter fan, has dismissed this notion and claims it makes little sense.

He posted: “From Saturday at 8 pm, in media terms, there is a duel between Eriksen and Barella, a duel with very little sense. We are able to explain why thanks to our incredible scoop. Are you ready? The 2 can play together.
See you soon for more scoops.”
