Simone Inzaghi is set to bring Francesco Acerbi, Kristjan Asllani and Edin Dzeko into the spine of the Inter team for the AS Roma match, according to a report in the Italian media today.

As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter appear to be changing the backbone of the team due to injuries and dropping levels of performance from other players.

The fact that Stefan de Vrij is struggling to impress has opened the door for Francesco Acerbi to take his role despite only being signed as a backup option.

Marcelo Brozovic’s injury means that Kristjan Asllani could get a run of games in the centre of the midfield three now starting with AS Roma on Saturday evening.

Edin Dzeko is set to continue having a more prominent role than he may have expected this season as Romelu Lukaku is still trying to return from his thigh injury.
