Piotr Zielinski and Petar Sucic are reportedly vying for the one remaining spot in midfield ahead of Inter Milan’s clash against AC Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, Cristian Chivu has yet to decide which of the two will start on Sunday.

Inter’s three-game winning run in Serie A will be on the line this weekend as they take on fellow Scudetto rivals Milan at San Siro.

Furthermore, with only two points separating the sides before the kick-off, there’s more than just bragging rights at stake.

Indeed, Inter can open up a five-point gap at the table’s summit with a win over their bitter rivals.

With Henrikh Mkhitaryan injured, Chivu must make a decision.

Indeed, Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu have guaranteed starting spots.

Therefore, there’s a vacancy in the middle of the park, with Zielinski and Sucic in contention to fill it.

Despite Sucic’s impressive start to life at San Siro, the Polish star could get the nod on Sunday.

Zielinski appears to have returned to form following a disappointing first season in Milan.

As such, he could start ahead of the Croatian starlet.
