Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu is preparing five changes for his Nerazzurri side in Sunday’s match against Sassuolo.
Inter welcome the Neroverdi to San Siro on Sunday evening in an important match.
Chivu’s side look to build on their midweek victory over Ajax in their Champions League opener.
Inter won 2-0 thanks to a brace of headers from French forward Marcus Thuram.
Now, according to reports from today’s Gazzetta dello Sport, via FC Inter News, Chivu is planning several changes.
Inter Milan Coach Chivu Puts Faith In Rotation Against Sassuolo
Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez is set to be given a chance in between the goalposts on Sunday.
Swiss international Yann Sommer drew some criticism for his performance against Juventus last weekend.
However, Chivu kept the experienced shot-stopper in goal against Ajax and he was much better.
Despite that, the Romanian coach could be reportedly considering a chance for the Spaniard.
Lautaro Martinez will return to the starting XI, as Chivu rested him in the Champions League fixture and gave Francesco Pio Esposito a chance up front.
Finally, Yann Bisseck looks set to replace Manuel Akanji in defence whilst Petar Sucic and Carlos Augusto are ready to return to the XI in the place of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Federico Dimarco.
time to ditch 3-5-2 and experiment with back 4.
let’s hope it will be a draw…
why we didnt sell fratessi if he will not play? 40mlns down the drain
De Vrij is only solid against weaker teams.
I really hope De Vrij will start the match again. I think he could be the short term solution to our defensive problems we’ve had so far. He was pretty solid against Ajax. I also love his vision and pass accuracy!
We looked good vs ajax because ajax is garbage.
