Inter Milan and Salernitana have released the starting lineups, with Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Augusto occupying the wing slots for the Nerazzurri.
Inter are hosting the Granata at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium this evening. The match kicks off at 21:00 CET.
However, this encounter pits the Serie A leaders against the team that lies at the very bottom of the Serie A table.
Earlier in the week, some sources tipped Inzaghi to rotate his lineup ahead of Tuesday’s big Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.
Nevertheless, the 47-year-old isn’t taking the Southerners lightly.
Hence, he only made a few twists to the lineup that beat Juventus and AS Roma in the last two weeks.
Inter Milan Wingbacks Denzel Dumfries & Carlos Augusto Start Vs Salernitana
At the back, Stefan de Vrij fills in for Francesco Acerbi who is injured.
However, this is hardly a rotation option but a compulsory change since the Italian is nursing a slight injury.
The Dutch defender thus joins Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni in the back-three.
Nonetheless, Inzaghi has reserved his changes for the wingback roles. On the right side, Denzel Dumfries gets the nod, giving Matteo Darmian some well-earned rest.
Meanwhile, on the opposite flank, former Monza star Carlos Augusto replaces Federico Dimarco.
Subsequently, in the middle of the park, the Nerazzurri manager maintains the same personnel.
Hakan Calhangolu operates as a Regista while Nicolo Barella and Henirkh Mkhitaryan occupy the box-to-box roles.
Finally, club captain Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram maintain their roles upfront, thus keeping Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez on the bench.
On the other hand, Fabio Liverani is making his debut as Salernitana’s coach. The club appointed him earlier this week after sacking Simone Inzaghi’s older brother Filippo.
