Inter Milan stars Marko Arnautovic and Denzel Dumfries will get the nod in this Friday’s encounter against Salernitana.
The Nerazzurri have a major Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.
Therefore, tomorrow’s Serie A meeting with the struggling Granata offers Simone Inzaghi the ideal opportunity to rotate his starting lineup.
The 47-year-old will drop several regular starters on Friday night.
Four or five key stars could start on the bench, giving the chance for some of the backups to prove their worth.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FcInterNews, Arnautovic and Dumfries will certainly be included in the starting lineup.
The Austrian veteran had a positive cameo in last weekend’s clash against AS Roma. He provided the assist for Alessandro Bastoni who sealed the win with a fourth goal.
The former Bologna man will thus replace either Marcus Thuram or club captain Lautaro Martinez.
Inter Milan Stars Marko Arnautovic & Denzel Dumfries To Play As Starters Vs Salernitana
As for Dumfries, this would mark his long-awaited return to the starting lineup.
The Dutchman started his campaign on a positive note before sustaining an injury against Napoli in mid-December.
Upon his return to action, he found himself behind Matteo Darmian in Inzaghi’s pecking order. He only featured as a starter in the 2-1 win over Hellas Verona in early January.
Therefore, the Netherlands international will be eager to make the most out of the opportunity and reclaim his regular spot on the right flank.
Besides Darmian, the 27-year-old could face competition from January signing Tajon Buchanan.
The Canadian is still adjusting to life at Appiano Gentile, but will be eager to start collecting playing time sooner rather than later.
