Alexis Sanchez should get the nod in Inter Milan’s weekend encounter against Bologna, while the coaching staff will evaluate Davide Frattesi.
On Tuesday, the Nerazzurri secured their first Champions League win of the season. Marcus Thuram scored the solitary goal of the encounter against Benfica.
However, the Frenchman suffered a cramp in the process. Luckily, medical tests ruled out any injuries.
Therefore, the 26-year-old should be in Simone Inzaghi’s matchday squad. However, the coach will probably decide to rest him.
So according to Sky Sport via FcInterNews, Sanchez will most likely start upfront alongside Inter captain Lautaro Martinez.
This would be the second start of the season of the Chilean who made his return to the club last summer.
Last week, Inzaghi included him in the starting formation against Salernitana. However, he left his place on the pitch in the 55th minute for Martinez who ended up making history by scoring four goals off the bench.
Therefore, the former Barcelona and Arsenal star will be eager to leave a mark this time.
Inter Milan Coach Simone Inzaghi To Start Alexis Sanchez Vs Bologna And Evaluate The Condition Of Davide Frattesi
On another note, the coaching staff will evaluate Davide Frattesi’s condition. The midfielder sustained a slight strain last week in the defeat against his former club Sassuolo.
The 24-year-old is working to make himself available for Saturday’s encounter against Bologna.
So we shall see if Inzaghi will call him up for the weekend fixture or delay his return until after the October international break.
