Piotr Zielinski could replace Henrikh Mkhitaryan in Inter Milan’s starting line-up against Feyenoord tomorrow night.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the Polish ace has recently surpassed the Armenian veteran in the pecking order.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been a permanent fixture in Simone Inzaghi’s starting XI.

Yet, his performance against Napoli last weekend was mediocre at best.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri boss is contemplating benching him for Piotr Zielinski tomorrow.

Despite boasting strong pre-match favoritism, Inter cannot underestimate Feyenoord, especially at De Kuip.

Indeed, Robin Van Persie’s charges have beaten AC Milan and Bayern Munich at home this season.

With Inter failing to impress against Napoli, Inzaghi must make some changes to rekindle his team’s spirits.

Mkhitaryan could pay the price as Zielinski aims to return to the starting XI for a crunch first-leg clash in Rotterdam.

The former Napoli midfielder would join forces with Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella in the engine room.

However, that’s only a hypothesis for now.
