Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will be heavily relying on three players to deliver the goods as usual in the Derby della Madonnina.
After earning a hard-fought draw against Manchester City on Wednesday, the Nerazzurri have now turned their attention to yet another major tilt on their packed schedule.
The Italian champions will lock horns with their crosstown rivals AC Milan on Sunday night.
Inzaghi has been rotating his lineup to preserve the player’s conditions in the long run. He could make up to five changes to the starting XI that took on Man City.
Naturally, the manager will be expecting every player who takes the field to give his all on this particular occasion.
Nevertheless, Inzaghi might be hoping for something extra from three players, explains La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews.
The first is Marcus Thuram who has been a mainstay in the starting lineup since the start of the season.
The Frenchman is the club’s best goalscorer thus far this season with four strikes to his name.
But more importantly, the 27-year-old has been developing a habit of scoring against the Rossoneri.
He managed to find the back of the net in both of the Derby della Madonnina he contended since joining Inter.
Thuram scored a pearler last September in the 5-1 demolition and was also on target in the glorious victory on April 22nd.
Inter Milan Coach Counting On Thuram, Barella & Dumfries To Produce The Goods Vs AC Milan
The second name on the list is Nicolo Barella who was the Man of the Match against Man City.
The Italian midfielder always wears his heart on his sleeve, and has been producing exceptional displays as of late.
Finally, Denzel Dumfries should return to the starting lineup to rekindle his old rivalry with Theo Hernandez.
The Frenchman might be one of the finest left-backs in the work, but as the source notes, the Dutchman often comes out on top in this particular duel.
