Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly considering numerous personnel changes for tomorrow night’s clash against Torino.
According to Tuttosport via FCInter1908, Josep Martinez could make his first competitive start since December.
Reduced to playing second fiddle to Yann Sommer, Martinez has made just four appearances this season.
Indeed, he last started in Inter’s Supercoppa Italiana heartbreak against Bologna in Saudi Arabia.
However, the 27-year-old is in line for his second Coppa Italia start this season.
Cristian Chivu to Make Numerous Starting XI Changes in Inter Milan vs Torino Clash
After missing out on Inter’s trip to Cremonese, Carlos Augusto could take Federico Dimarco’s place on the left wing.
Furthermore, Chivu is looking to give Yann Bisseck and Manuel Akanji some rest, with Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi expected to start.
Meanwhile, Andy Diouf could return to the starting eleven either to play as a right winger or a midfielder.
In midfield, Davide Frattesi is vying for a starting berth, with Piotr Zielinski likely to catch a breather.
Finally, Lautaro Martinez is likely to surrender his place to Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Martinez have to get more minutes on goal to see if we can rely on him next season as first gk or look for someone new, Sommer was catastrophic this season. As for reinforcements this winter, maybe it’s best there were no panic buys last minute but Marotta and co have failed to deliver promised. As for our future player from Modena, don’t see how that was any good purchase. This year he’s 24, playing in Seria B, not even as starter. In summer don’t see how he’ll get any minutes amongst Barella, Sucic, Hakan, Zielinski, Diouf and possibly Stankovic and Akinsanmiro.
