Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck is pushing for a starting berth against Bologna at the expense of his teammate Benjamin Pavard.
The Nerazzurri will take on the high-flying Rossoblu at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium on Saturday evening.
This will be the club’s last stop before Tuesday’s crucial second-leg clash against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16.
Due to the significance of the European contest, Simone Inzaghi will be looking to rotate his lineup this weekend.
After all, the Nerazzurri already boast a healthy lead in Serie A, with 15 points separating them from their closest chasers Juventus.
So according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Bisseck could give Pavard a breather.
The young German defender would start on the right side of the defensive trio. Francesco Acerbi should make his first start after making his return from injury on Monday against Genoa. Alessandro Bastoni will complete the backline after serving a one-match ban.
In the middle of the park, there will be a duel between Hakan Calhanoglu and Kristjan Asllani.
The Turkish has just returned from injury and Inzaghi could make an exception by granting him an immediate starting berth.
Nevertheless, the source still tips the young Albanian to get the nod alongside Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

On the wings, Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Augusto could fill in for Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco.
Finally, the pink newspaper tips club captain Lautaro Martinez to maintain his starting role while Marcus Thuram makes his first start following his recovery.
This would leave both Alexis Sanchez and Marko Arnautovic on the bench.
Inter Milan Probable XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Lautaro.
