Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic in attack away to Young Boys. This evening’s Champions League Match Day 3 kicks off at 21.00 CET.
Inter are looking to record their second consecutive win in the Champions League this season.
The Nerazzurri played a goalless draw against Manchester City in the opening round of the Champions League.
However, they trashed Red Star Belgrade 4-0 last time out. Moreover, Inter Milan just beat Roma on the weekend in the Serie A.
Furthermore, with games every three days, the Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to rotate the squad.
Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has made quite a few changes to the team that defeated Roma in the Serie A this past Sunday.
Mehdi Taremi & Marko Arnautovic Start For Inter Milan Vs Young Boys
Firstly, in midfield injury has forced Inzaghi’s hand. Midfielder Hakan Calhanogu is absent due to a thigh strain he suffered in the derby.
