Yann Bisseck will replace Benjamin Pavard in Inter Milan’s starting eleven against Barcelona this evening.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the French star has failed to recover from an ankle sprain despite promising prognoses.
Simone Inzaghi lost the former Bayern Munich star to injury against Roma a fortnight ago.
Therefore, Yann Bisseck was in the starting lineup at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
Despite Inter’s hopes of welcoming Pavard back to the squad, the 29-year-old must skip tonight’s fixture.
Yann Bisseck to Replace Benjamin Pavard in Inter Milan Starting XI vs Barcelona
Pavard’s absence will force Inzaghi’s hand.
Though Bisseck fared well in the first leg, the Frenchman’s experience in these high-octane moments would be priceless.
Unfortunately, Pavard’s ankle remains swollen, so he’ll have to watch the game from afar.
Meanwhile, Bisseck will join forces with Alessandro Bastoni and Francesco Acerbi at the back.
There will be no changes compared to the first leg.
Indeed, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries will retain their spots on the wings.
The former’s confirmation is a bit awkward, considering he immensely struggled against Lamine Yamal.
Everyone struggled against Lamal
And ffs bisseck is a liability!!
He’s an abysmal excuse for a footballer, I’ve never seen a so called “defender” so often miles out of position, ball watching standing still and just often react slow or misread the bounce / play of the ball.
He should be winning every ball into the box without fail, that’s his job. But he doesn’t, he stands still and watches guys half his size head in a goal or tap in while he’s stood in cement.
I’d be playing darmian at RCB in pavards absence, considering his dependability. Whilst not as flashy, you know he’ll be in the right place and not make silly schoolboy errors allowing the other two CB and Dumfries to relax and play their normal game without worrying about covering for bisseck.
