Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi could make three changes to his starting lineup in tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League clash against Sparta Prague.
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, three players from Inter’s starting XI against Empoli could drop to the bench.
The reigning Serie A champions head to Prague in the penultimate round of the league phase, seeking an all-important win.
With two games left, Inzaghi’s charges boast a slender one-point lead on ninth-placed Borussia Dortmund.
Therefore, the margin for error is thin as the Italian giants bid to secure a coveted top-eight finish.
Simone Inzaghi Considers Making Three Changes to Inter Milan Lineup vs Sparta Prague
Carlos Augusto deputized for Alessandro Bastoni as a center-back on Sunday.
However, the Italy international will probably regain his place in defense, with Federico Dimarco unrivaled at left wingback.
Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will likely dislodge Piotr Zielinski from the starting lineup.
Indeed, Kristjan Asllani remains the only viable alternative for the injured Hakan Calhanoglu.
That means Zielinski must make way for the Armenian veteran, considering Nicolo Barella is untouchable.
Finally, Marcus Thuram will partner up with Lautaro Martinez in the front third at the expense of Mehdi Taremi.
Despite having the upper hand on the Frenchman in European fixtures, the Iranian’s woeful form has forced Inzaghi’s hand.
