Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Marcelo Brozovic in midfield as well as Joaquin Correa and Romelu Lukaku up top, in tonight’s Serie A Match Day 35 clash against Sassuolo at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with kick-off scheduled for 20.45 CET.
Nerazzurri captain Samir Handanovic starts in goal and subsequently Cameroon goalkeeper André Onana and Alex Cordaz both start on the bench.
Secondly, Raoul Bellanova and Federico Dimarco play on the wings whilst in defence it’s Danilo D’Ambrosio and Francesco Acerbi starting on either side of Dutch international defender Stefan de Vrij.
Marcelo Brozovic & Romelu Lukaku Start
Furthermore in midfield, Croatian international Brozovic starts, flanked by Armenian veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Italian midfielder Roberto Gagliardini.
Meanwhile up front, Argentina international forward Joaquin Correa starts, partnered by all-time Belgian national team top goalscorer, Romelu Lukaku.
The Chelsea owned striker turns 30-years-old today and would undoubtedly like to celebrate his birthday by bagging a goal or two.
Meanwhile, Robin Gosens has now fully recovered from his shoulder injury and starts on the bench.
Inter are currently in fourth spot in the Serie A standings on 63 points, two behind Lazio in third who drew Lecce 2-2 last night.
However, the Nerazzurri have a game in hand, that game is against Sassuolo tonight at the San Siro. A win tonight would subsequently see them leapfrog Lazio in the Serie A standings.
In conclusion, Milan Skriniar is yet to recover from back surgery, and so consequently he is not available for selection.
