Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi could still stick with a 3-5-2 formation in tomorrow’s Champions League group stage clash with Barcelona.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who report that the coach is still mulling over a number of decisions, including whether to change the shape.

Inzaghi only has two senior strikers available to him for tomorrow in the form of Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko.

If the coach is to want to stick with his customary 3-5-2 shape then he will have little option but to start Martinez and Dzeko in attack.

However, if Inzaghi decides that this is not the right pairing in attack then he could change things around by playing one striker and then an attacking midfielder behind him.

The Nerazzurri have a few players capable of playing this role, including Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Inzaghi could switch to this, but at the same time has continued to work with a strike partnership of Dzeko and Martinez in training ahead of tomorrow’s match.
