Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will rotate his starting line-up against Salernitana. He will thus drop four or five regular starters.
The Nerazzurri will be eager to eager to consolidate their lead with a win over the relegation-bound side on Friday night.
Nevertheless, the technical staff are already planning for Tuesday’s big showdown against Atletico Madrid.
The Nerazzurri will host Diego Simeone’s band at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Therefore, Sky Sport Italia (via FcInter1908) expects Inzaghi to rest four of five key players against Salernitana.
The first on the list is Benjamin Pavard who has been playing non-stop since making his return from injury in December. This could pave the way for Yann Bisseck to make an appearance at the back.

Moreover, Matteo Darmian will earn some well-deserved rest. The Italian veteran made the right wingback slot his own since Denzel Dumfries’ injury in early December.
The Dutchman made his return to the pitch last month, but has yet to feature as a starter. So this could be the opportunity to reintroduce the 27-year-old to the fold.
In the middle of the park, Inzaghi will drop Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The manager is hoping that Davide Frattesi returns to full fitness in time for Friday’s meeting in order to replace the Armenian veteran.
The former Sassuolo returned to group training on Wednesday.
The source also expects the coach to rest one between Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, as Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez wait in the wings.
Finally, Inzaghi still has to decide whether to maintain Federico Dimarco or drop him in favor of Carlos Augusto. As the report tells it, this one remains an ongoing dilemma for the coach.
