There are two big selection doubts remaining for Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi ahead of tomorrow’s Serie A clash with Napoli.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They identify them as being in the centre of defense and on the right flank.
Inter take on Napoli tomorrow evening in Serie A.
And it will be a hugely significant match. At the moment, the Nerazzurri are second in the Serie A table, and the Partenopei are first.
Just one point separates the two teams at the moment.
Therefore, Sunday’s match presents Inter with the opportunity to overtake Napoli at the top of the table. Clearly, there is a real chance that it could be a pivotal moment in the title race.
Inter just played another huge match this week. On Wednesday, they took on Arsenal in the Champions League, winning 1-0.
Inzaghi rotated his squad a fair bit for that match. He kept a number of players fresh for Sunday’s match.
Two Main Selection Doubts For Inter Coach Simone Inzaghi Vs Napoli
And there is no doubt that some of the big names will return to the lineup against Napoli.
Wingback Federico Dimarco, midfielder Nicolo Barella, and striker Marcus Thuram will all start this weekend, having come off the bench against Arsenal.
Moreover, Alessandro Bastoni should also come into the team.
But it has been less certain that Francesco Acerbi would do so. The 36-year-old is still just coming back from a thigh strain.
Acerbi’s return from injury has certainly given Inzaghi food for thought.
But at the same time, Stefan de Vrij has done well in the Italian international’s absence, particularly with his performance against Arsenal during the week.
Therefore, Inzaghi could still keep de Vrij in the lineup.
And on the right flank, Denzel Dumfries will hope to keep his spot after a strong performance against Arsenal.
However, there would also be a real chance of Matteo Darmian starting on the right.
