Given the suspensions of Icardi and Perišić, as well as the injury sustained by Brozović, the likes of Éder, Palacio and Banega have a golden opportunity to impress Stefano Pioli.
Gabigol and Pinamonti will also be hoping to show what they can offer Inter going forward.
Against Empoli, Éder and Palacio will almost certainly start. One will play on the left flank and the other will be used centrally.
Meanwhile, Brozović’s absence leaves the coach with fewer options in midfield too. Gagliardini will team up with Kondogbia in front of the defence, while Banega could be deployed in a more advanced role.
The emergency situation Inter find themselves in has created an opportunity for fringe players to prove themselves, and is a real test of how strong the squad really is.
The Nerazzurri have an obligation to reach the head-to-head clash with Roma having taken maximum points from both Empoli and Bologna.

Grandpapalacio will start this match no doubt
Who does Palacio need to impress? His contract is out in a few months…
Make absolutely no sense what so ever to play him.
Eder – Pinamonti – Gabi
It beats my imagination as to why Pioli plays Palacio in
most of the games involving Inter and its opponents. Pioli is not being
realistic, at all by doing this. I mean, Palacio is a spent force, a shadow of
his former self, thereby he’s got nothing to offer any more. At 35 years of
age, he should retire and make way for the younger ones. We greatly appreciate
his contributions to the team in the past, but the past is past.
what “chance for palacio” ?!?!
palacio, you shitty, useless, greedy argentine old fart,
release place form newcoming talents,
you mediocrity with no honour, without honesty,
you should have been expelled a long time ago,
your level is genoa, bastard !
idi u 3 pičke materine !
Pinamonti time, gabigol no chance .it’s Eder Mario candreva and Pinamonti at the top.I watch inter training on inter TV ,gabigol is a garbage, he thinks he’s a super star but Pinamonti is a talent.
Sheitt, if we spent that that 29 mil for 2 good fbs i think our team would have more balance
Yep, Gabi is like Kerlon Foquinha, tricks but no substance… he needs to be loaned out asap !
Play pinamonti! Enough Eder, he hustles but his quality is inferior to master Palacio
The most awkward thing in the world is Palacio still getting chances to shine 😐
The power of his weird hair imo
I still remember his first season at Inter, he promise to cut his dread long hair if we get scudetto. I hate that. He curse us for those stupid hair LOL…
I like him but considering he is 35 years old… his time is over with us strange that he didn’t leave on the last transfer market-
Gabriel, Pinamonti & Eder should suffice- and Banega should play more!
Yesss! It’s a great chance for the young and upcoming talent to impress. His name is Gab…. oops no, the name is Palacio.
Lol gabigol must be frustated watching his friend g jesus in city got the chances so fast while he has been here for 6 months and still not ready
Did we get duped ? lol
Give Gabigol and Eder a chance to play full 90 minutes! Play Gagliardini-Kondogbia in central midfield! Don’t play both Palacio and Biabiany.
EDER
GABIGOL – BANEGA/MARIO – CANDREVA
GAGLIARDINI – KONDOGBIA
MURILLO – MEDEL – MIRANDA – D’AMBROSIO
HANDANOVIC
I like that! Simply perfect formation.
