Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is set to heavily reshuffle his lineup after the Coppa Italia rotation against Torino, with as many as nine changes expected for the Serie A trip to Sassuolo.
Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, report that Chivu will once again rely on his first-choice players after resting many regulars in midweek.
In attack, the familiar partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram is set to be restored from the start.
In goal, Yann Sommer should return, shielded by a back three of Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni.
Sassuolo Vs Inter – Chivu Returns To Trusted Faces
On the flanks, Luis Henrique and Federico Dimarco are considered certain starters.
In midfield, Piotr Zielinski will continue to dictate play.
With Petar Sucic, indeed, alongside him.
And, indeed, one of Davide Frattesi or Henrikh Mkhitaryan completing the trio.
Mkhitaryan currently appears slightly favoured after being substituted early against Torino.
Therefore, if confirmed, the lineup would underline Chivu’s intent to restore stability to the XI.
