Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram will spearhead the attack in Inter Milan’s home clash against Venezia later today.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Luis Henrique will retain his place on the right wing despite his awful performance at Pisa.
Cristian Chivu’s side will take on the second-tier outfit in tonight’s last-16 showdown at San Siro.
Furthermore, the 20-time Italian champions are massive favorites to secure a quarter-final berth.
Therefore, Chivu can afford to experiment with his starting lineup, with Josep Martinez set to start in goal.
Pio Esposito & Thuram to Lead Inter Milan Attack vs Venezia
With Pio Esposito and Thuram set to join forces in attack, Lautaro Martinez will get a much-needed rest.
Meanwhile, Andy Diouf is likely to make his first-ever start for the Nerazzurri after a promising performance against Spezia.
In addition to the French midfielder, Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski are expected to dislodge Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Moreover, Chivu is ready to hand teenage fullback Matteo Cocchi his maiden senior start for the club.
he is a flop, did not use a single chance he’s been given so far. In addition, he’s followed by the coach during training sessions and based on his performance the coach decides whether and how much playing time he will get.
Luis Henrique did not have an awful game against Pisa. He did not produce as much as he should have but the rest of the team underperformed as well smh. Referring to him as a “Brazilian flop” is ridiculous and hence the reason why the media in Italy destroy their young talent.
