Wingback Robin Gosens and forward Joaquin Correa are both expected to start for Inter in Saturday evening’s Serie A match against Monza at the San Siro.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, who report that the duo will be among four changes made to the Nerazzurri’s starting eleven on Saturday compared to the team that lined up against Benfica in the Champions League in midweek.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will be thinking about rotation throughout the next few matches, as the Nerazzurri’s packed fixture list over the run-in means that the risk of fatigue to the players is high.
The 47-year-old former Lazio coach has already shown a propensity to rotate and try to get the best out of his squad, and according to Sky, he will make a few changes over the weekend.
The Nerazzurri will be aiming to get a massively important three points against Monza, in a race for top four where there is no more margin for error after four matches without a win in the league.
In midfield, there will be no changes to the trio of Marcelo Brozovic, Nicolo Barella, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan which started against Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In the wide areas, Denzel Dumfries will retain his starting place on the right, but Gosens will replace Federico Dimarco on the left.
The attack will be rotated completely, with Correa and Lukaku taking the place of Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez.
Lastly, Matteo Darmian will get what has become a very rare rest for him, as Danilo D’Ambrosio is set to take the 33-year-old’s place on the right side of the defense according to Sky, with Milan Skriniar still injured.
Sky’s complete predicted eleven for Saturday’s match is as follows:
Inter : (3-5-2): Onana; D’Ambrosio, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Mhikitaryan, Gosens; Correa, Lukaku.
