Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi could make several changes to his starting line-up in tonight’s match against Lazio.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, there’s a wingback emergency after Inter lost another player to injury.

Indeed, Nicola Zalewski won’t be in contention for this evening’s Coppa Italia quarter-final tie.

The Polish youngster sustained a leg problem and will have to hit a pause button for around two weeks.

Meanwhile, Carlos Augusto is also in the treatment room.

Federico Dimarco could move to the bench as Inzaghi doesn’t want to risk losing another star to fatigue issues.

Therefore, Denzel Dumfries will likely start on the right.

As for Dimarco’s replacement, Matteo Darmian is in pole position to take his place on the left.

Indeed, Darmian’s versatility allows him to cover both flanks equally well.

His inclusion won’t be the only change.

Inzaghi will also field Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Marko Arnautovic from the first minute.

Furthermore, Lautaro Martinez could drop to the bench in favor of Mehdi Taremi.
