Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will be looking to rotate his ranks against Lecce, as Davide Frattesi and Carlos Augusto prepare to start.
On Tuesday, the Nerazzurri prevailed over Atletico Madrid by a single goal in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.
Next Wednesday, a tough Serie A clash awaits Inzaghi’s men against the high-flying Atalanta.
Therefore, the manager will be looking to rest some of his key players this Sunday at the Via del Mare.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FcInterNews, there will be two changes in the middle of the park.
The source tips Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani to start the match against Lecce.
While the report doesn’t specify which players will be dropped, the young Albanian has been Hakan Calhangolu’s designated understudy in the Regista role.
As for Frattesi, he usually replaces his compatriot Nicolo Barella. However. Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be another option.
Moreover, Sky expects Carlos Augusto to start as a left wingback, leaving Federico Dimarco on the bench.
The Brazilian was also a starter last weekend in the 4-0 rooting of Salernitana. In midweek, he entered the pitch in the second half against Atletico Madrid.
Finally, the source backs Marko Arnautovic to replace Marcus Thuram.
Nevertheless, this won’t be a rotation option, but rather a compulsory change due to the Frenchman’s injury.
Inter Milan Stars Davide Frattesi & Carlos Augusto Tipped To Start Vs Lecce
The 26-year-old striker sustained a knock during the first half of the big European clash on Tuesday. It should keep him out of a action for around 15 days.
He left his place on the pitch to Arnautovic who eventually clinched the winner after missing a few glorious chances to score.
The Austrian should therefore partner club captain Lautaro Martinez from the get-go against Lecce.
