Inter Milan marquee summer signing Luis Henrique has seemingly fallen out of favor with head coach Cristian Chivu.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the 45-year-old manager has little faith in the Brazilian wingback.

Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny inspired the Nerazzurri to a 2-0 home win over Lazio last weekend.

However, Denzel Dumfries produced a rare underwhelming performance, forcing Chivu to sub him off early in the second half.

Despite having Henrique on the bench, the ex-Parma boss opted for Carlos Augusto instead.

Chivu’s decision to put Augusto on the right wing underlines his lost trust in the former Marseille star.

Indeed, Augusto is left-footed and had never played on the right before.

Yet, Chivu trusted him to fill Dumfries’ shoes last Sunday at the expense of his Brazilian compatriot.

Therefore, the €25 million summer acquisition remains low in the pecking order following a dismal start to life in Serie A.

With the January transfer window around the corner, it’s hard to exclude the possibility of Inter signing a new wingback.
