However, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi also has the second leg of the Champions League semfinals against Barcelona to think about.
Inter secured a 3-3 draw in an all-time classic in the first leg away in Spain.
Therefore, they will feel that they have every chance of reaching a second final in three seasons in the second leg.
Accordingly, Inzaghi has rotated his team heavily against Verona this evening.
The Nerazzurri coach has made a whopping ten changes to the team from the first leg against Barcelona..
Josep Martinez Starts In Goal – Yann Sommer Rested
Firstly, there is a notable change in goal.
Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez takes the place of Yann Sommer in goal.
Meanwhile, in defense Yann Bisseck keeps his place from the first leg against Barcelona. However, Stefan de Vrij and Carlos Augusto replace Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.
Meanwhile, in midfield Inzaghi has completely changed the trio.
Firstly, Hakan Calhanoglu is serving a one-match suspension. Then, both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella get a rest.
Therefore, it is a starting trio of Piotr Zielinski, Kristjan Asllani, and Davide Frattesi.
Then, Inzaghi has also made changes on both flanks.
Nicola Zalewski and Matteo Darmian replace Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries in the lineup.
Joaquin Correa & Marko Arnautovic Lead The Attack
Lastly, in attack Inzaghi has also made two changes.
Lautaro Martinez is out with an injury, having come off at halftime against Barcelona in midweek.
Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram gets a rest. Accordingly, it is a front pairing of Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa.
Apart from captain Lautaro Martinez, Inter are missing one player due to injury – defender Benjamin Pavard.
