Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly contemplating several changes for tomorrow’s clash against Lecce.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, he could significantly alter the lineup that faced Napoli on Sunday.

Despite netting his seventh Serie A goal of the season, Hakan Calhanoglu suffered a minor muscle injury late in the game.

Therefore, his availability is hanging in the balance, with Piotr Zielinski expected to take his role on Wednesday.

Indeed, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is likely to return to the starting lineup to slot in alongside Nicolo Barella and the Polish star.

Federico Dimarco was also on the scoresheet against Napoli, yet he could make way for Carlos Augusto.

Meanwhile, Manuel Akanji could get some much-needed rest, with either Francesco Acerbi or Stefan de Vrij expected to take his place.

It’s also hard to rule out Lautaro Martinez’s exclusion from the starting XI.

Indeed, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito could lead the line at the expense of the Thu-La duo.
