Youngsters Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and Dennis Curatolo could be among the surprise inclusions in a heavily-rotated starting eleven for next Saturday’s Serie A clash away to Torino.
This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it, who report that Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi is prepared to shake things up with his lineup decisions for the team’s final Serie A match of the season.
Inter have already qualified for next season’s Champions League via a top four finish. Last Saturday’s victory over Atalanta made sure of that.
This does not mean that the match against Torino next weekend is a complete dead rubber.
However, there is no denying the pressure is off. Moreover, Inter will certainly feel that the priority is being as prepared as possible for the Champions League final against Manchester City.
As such, the Gazzetta reports, Inter coach Inzaghi will not hesitate to rotate his team a lot.
Among the players who could get a start are midfielders Kristjan Asllani and Roberto Gagliardini. On the wings, Raoul Bellanova and Robin Gosens could start.
In goal, captain Samir Handanovic could be given the nod ahead of Andre Onana.
Akinsanmiro & Curatolo Could Get First Senior Inter Starts Vs Torino
The most eye-catching selections, however, could be some youngsters from the Primavera side.
Forward Dennis Curatolo is being considered for a start according to the Gazzetta. With Joaquin Correa injured, Inter look stretched thin in attack, and the 19-year-old could give players like Edin Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez, and Romelu Lukaku a rest.
Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro could start, the Gazzetta reports. The 18-year-old joined Inter in January from Remo Stars. The Nerazzurri beat out the competition of Real Madrid and Benfica to sign Akinsanmiro according to reports.
Lastly, the Gazzetta also report that 18-year-old defender Stefano Di Pentima is being considered for a start.
