Stefan de Vrij will likely watch tomorrow’s Serie A title six-pointer between Atalanta and Inter Milan from the stands.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Simone Inzaghi must find an appropriate alternative for the 33-year-old.

Unable to recover from a niggling knee problem, the Dutch veteran probably won’t feature for Inter in Bergamo.

Therefore, there will be a massive defensive gap.

It will be up to Benjamin Pavard or Yann Bisseck to fill it.

Simone Inzaghi Yet to Decide Who Will Replace Stefan de Vrij in Atalanta vs Inter Milan Clash

De Vrij will skip the upcoming international break after Ronald Koeman omitted him from his Netherlands squad.

However, Inzaghi only cares about his absence tomorrow.

Pavard would be an obvious choice. Yet, the Frenchman has recently blown hot and cold.

Meanwhile, Bisseck has been impressive in recent matches and perhaps deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Ultimately, it will be up to Simone Inzaghi to decide.

On the other hand, Alessandro Bastoni and Francesco Acerbi have guaranteed starting berths.
