Inter Milan teenager Leonardo Bovo is reportedly in line for a starting berth in tomorrow’s Coppa Italia quarter-final tie against Torino.
According to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old could make his first senior start for the club on Wednesday.
Fresh off a 2-0 Serie A win at Cremonese, Cristian Chivu turns to Inter’s cup duties, with Torino rolling into town tomorrow.
Despite vying for a landmark 10th Coppa Italia title, the Nerazzurri may not face Marco Baroni’s side at full strength.
Leonardo Bovo to Start in Inter Milan vs Torino Clash
Chivu is ready to rotate his squad to minimize the risk of injuries.
Furthermore, the 45-year-old manager cannot count on star midfielders Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella.
Indeed, both players are in the pits and are unlikely to return before the upcoming Derby d’Italia clash against Juventus.
Meanwhile, Piotr Zielinski has played consistently throughout 2026 and could benefit from a rest to stave off fatigue.
Therefore, Chivu is considering giving Bovo his maiden senior start in Inter colors
They always put them in the lineup but never let them play. I thought Chivu would be different but I havent seen him putting any of our youth players. What a let down from him
bravo let the young kids play !
Thats the way to deal with injuries. Bravo Chivu. Bravo. Forza Inter
