Inter boss Simone Inzaghi may have already decided which players he intends to use for each of Inter’s next two games, according to a report in the Italian print media today.

As has been reported by Tuttosport, Simone Inzaghi is likely to play a much weaker than normal lineup against Sampdoria because he wants to keep his best players fresh for the visit of Real Madrid next week.

This means that Federico Dimarco and Matteo Darmian could be playing on either side of the Nerazzurri midfield and defence on Sunday in Serie A.

There is also potential for either Andrea Ranocchia or Danilo D’Ambrosio to start in place of either Milan Skriniar or Stefan de Vrij, as the two defenders played all three matches for their countries during the international break.

Against Real Madrid, fans may get to see Ivan Perisic and Denzel Dumfries on the wings, with Lautaro Martinez starring upfront.
