Andrea Ranocchia could possibly be handed just his fourth appearance of the season for Inter in this weekend’s Serie A match at home to Spezia according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

For seven straight games Inter manager Antonio Conte has not given his three starting centre backs rest therefore it is possible that experienced Ranocchia could be brought in in place of Stefan de Vrij, who is tired.

Depending on Aleksandar Kolarov’s condition, he could possible allow Alessandro Bastoni the chance to catch his breath otherwise Danilo D’Ambrosio will come in to play at left centre back in place of Bastoni.

The report from the Rome based news outlet goes on to add that Conte hopes to have at least one of Arturo Vidal and Marcelo Brozovic back for Sunday’s match. If not, he will choose between Christian Eriksen and Stefano Sensi to complete the Inter midfield versus the Ligurian club.
