Josep Martinez could reportedly take Yann Sommer’s place in goal in the upcoming Serie A clash between Pisa and Inter Milan.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Swiss veteran could drop to the bench next weekend.
Yann Sommer produced another sub-standard performance in Sunday’s Milan derby.
Indeed, his sloppy intervention helped AC Milan topple the Nerazzurri in a narrow 1-0 victory last weekend.
However, Cristian Chivu is reluctant to remove the former Bayern Munich star from the starting lineup.
Josep Martinez to Take Yann Sommer Place in Pisa vs Inter Milan
Despite his blunder on Sunday, Sommer is expected to start in Inter’s away clash against Atletico Madrid tomorrow.
Chivu’s lads are on the verge of securing a second consecutive top-eight finish in the Champions League’s league phase.
With the club’s hopes of securing automatic last-16 qualification on the line, Chivu has no intention of benching the 36-year-old ace.
However, the Nerazzurri manager could hand Martinez his first Serie A start since September next weekend.
Furthermore, it would be the Spaniard’s first appearance since being involved in a tragic car accident last month.
This guy was brought in to replace our first choice goalkeeper but he’s just not starting material and will never be. We are unbelievably poor in market dealings, sometimes amateurish.
Chivu is not a serious coach. He will play this guy 3 or 4 times just to calm the fans mind and then immediately reverse to Sommer even though Martinez performed well. Chivu is respecting the old veterans in the team and he is too scared for now to step on anyone’s toes
You should perform well every game from now on. You will become a starter now that somme messed up. I hope you will not make us upset. Become the best version fo yourself. We will support you. Okay.
