Cristian Chivu has little time to prepare his Inter squad before hosting Slavia Prague at San Siro in the Champions League group stage.
The Nerazzurri defeated Cagliari 2-0 in Sardinia on Saturday evening and will host the Czech side in Milan on Tuesday night.
According to Sky Sport’s Matteo Barzaghi, via FCInter1908, the coach has yet to give clear indications on whether Francesco Pio Esposito could start.
The youngster scored his first Serie A goal at Cagliari and is now pushing for more minutes.
Chivu Could Look To Bonny & Esposito For Inter Vs Slavia Prague Clash
Another option is forward Ange-Yoan Bonny, who has yet to start but has shown promise.
Barzaghi explained that Bonny had a minor fitness issue last week but nothing serious and he featured off the bench in Sardinia.
He could be considered if Chivu opts to rest either Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram ahead of a busy schedule.
Rotation may prove essential as Inter seek to maintain their momentum in Europe.
We don’t have a player who can do what Pulisic did before he set up Sealemakers,who then scored. We simply don’t.
Chivu, you should start with Lautaro with Pio Esposito. After taking the lead, you can bring Bonny and resting Lautaro. This time, Thuram should rest to preserve him for the next Serie-A match. Please play Josep Martinez as he is much better than Sommer. Try formation with 4 defenders, including DiMarco, Akanji, Bastoni, and Dumfries.
Noted, thank you nerazzurri, let just grind with it.
Look at this craziness start strong and rest later
It’s ur second match in the ucl 4 fk sake
F cu.nte and F fallegri.
the loser c.unte lost yet F bilan was down one player for the entire second half
How the hell ac bilan 2 and c.unte 0 so far. Fk them both
I think we should take the lead first and then rest the big ones. these points are crucial given that our next few UCL games are against big teams. it would probably be worse getting on big names at 60th min if we are trailing or desperately need a goal.
