Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu could make several personnel changes in Tuesday’s clash against Royale Union SG.

According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the 44-year-old is planning up to four changes to his lineup, compared to Saturday’s win at Roma.

Despite scoring the winning goal at the Stadio Olimpico, Ange-Yoan Bonny could make way for Francesco Pio Esposito.

Indeed, the Italian prodigy has emerged as a frontrunner to partner up with Lautaro Martinez in attack.

In addition to Esposito, Stefan de Vrij could regain his spot in the starting lineup at the expense of Francesco Acerbi.

Meanwhile, the Dutchman’s return to the starting XI may not be the only defensive change.

Instead, Carlos Augusto is on the verge of making his first Champions League start this season.

However, whether it will be at the expense of Alessandro Bastoni or Federico Dimarco remains uncertain.

Finally, Petar Sucic could dislodge Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the middle of the park after starting recent matches on the bench.
