Raoul Bellanova Could Start For Inter In Champions League Clash With Barcelona, Italian Media Report

Wingback Raoul Bellanova could be in Inter’s starting eleven for this evening’s Champions League clash with Barcelona.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, who report that there is a real chance that the 22-year-old could start given that Denzel Dumfries is likely to drop to the bench.

Dumfries started against Roma over the weekend, but the sense is that the Dutchman is not likely to start against Barcelona, and one of Bellanova or Matteo Darmian will start in his place, whilst Federico Dimarco could still start on the left.

Meanwhile, in midfield Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella are likely to start, and one of Kristjan Asllani or Hakan Calhanoglu should complete the midfield trio.

In goal, Andre Onana looks likely to take the place of captain Samir Handanovic.

FCInterNews’s complete predicted starting eleven for the clash is as follows:

Inter (3-5-2): Onana; Skriniar, de Vrij, Bastoni; Bellanova, Barella, Calhanoglu/Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Darmian; Correa, Lautaro.
