Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will reportedly maintain the same formation for the Fiorentina clash, while newcomers Benjamin Pavard and Alexis Sanchez will be on the bench.

The French defender completed his transfer from Bayern Munich to the Nerazzurri earlier this week. Yesterday, he underwent his first training session at Appiano Gentile.

So according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Pavard will start on the bench on Sunday’s encounter against Fiorentina.

Nevertheless, Inzaghi could decide to give the 27-year-old his debut in a late second-half cameo.

Sanchez will also have the chance to greet his old supporters at the Giuseppe Meazza. So we shall see if he’ll earn some minutes this weekend.

Inter Milan Will Maintain The Same Formation For Fiorentina Clash While Benjamin Pavard And Alexis Sanchez Start On The Bench

The source expects the Inter manager to maintain the same starting formation that took the field for the first two matches of the Serie A season. The Nerazzurri won the fixtures against Monza and Cagliari in 2-o results.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan managed to shake off all injury concerns. So he’ll regain his spot alongside Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu in the middle of the park.

For his part, Francesco Acerbi could receive his first callup of the season. But he’s unlikely to start the match.

Therefore, Stefan de Vrij should maintain his berth at the heart of the three-man backline alongside Matteo Darmian and Alessandro Bastoni.

The report also tips Marcus Thuram to start once again in attack beside club captain Lautaro Martinez. Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco will occupy the flanks.
