All of Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Federico Dimarco, and Francesco Acerbi will be back in the Inter Milan lineup against Juventus.
This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it. The outlet anticipates that these will be the four changes compared to the team that started against Fiorentina last Sunday.
Over the weekend, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi put out a somewhat rotated team.
Part of this was out of the coach’s control. Suspensions to the likes of Barella and Calhanoglu meant that the coach had to come up with other solutions in midfield.
But Inzaghi did not stop the changes there.
In defense, Acerbi dropped out of the team.
It was Stefan de Vrij who started in the centre of the back three. And Alessandro Bastoni started on the left of the defense.
Acerbi replace Bastoni from the bench during the second half of that match.
And on the left flank, Dimarco did not play against La Viola, either as a substitute or as a starter.
Carlos Augusto saw out the full ninety minutes at left-wingback.
Barella, Calhanoglu, Dimarco & Acerbi To Start Vs Juventus
According to the Gazzetta, however, Inzaghi will certainly revert to playing what he sees as his strongest possible team against Juventus next Sunday.
In midfield, both of Barella and Calhanoglu will both be available once again.
And there is little doubt that the pair will return to the starting eleven. They will form the first-choice Nerazzurri midfield trio alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
And both of Acerbi and Dimarco will also started against the Bianconeri.
That means that the likes of de Vrij and Augusto will drop to the bench.
Meanwhile, the Gazzetta reports, Matteo Darmian is likely to keep his place.
The 34-year-old has started in each of Inter’s last four matches across all competitions. And he will start ahead of Denzel Dumfries against Juventus.
