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.
Inter Milan Boss Cristian Chivu Loses Trust in Luis Henrique
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.
