Francesco Pio Esposito will reportedly lead the line in tomorrow’s Serie A showdown between Inter Milan and Fiorentina.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old is the frontrunner to join Lautaro Martinez in attack.
Ange-Yoan Bonny got the nod in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Napoli.
However, after scoring in back-to-back Serie A matches, the Frenchman failed to make an impact at the Maradona Stadium.
Therefore, he could surrender his place in the final third to Francesco Pio Esposito.
Pio Esposito to Start in Inter Milan vs Fiorentina Clash
After falling three points behind Napoli, Inter cannot afford another slip-up if they’re to remain in the title race.
Therefore, Cristian Chivu is contemplating minor lineup changes for tomorrow.
In addition to Esposito’s return to the starting eleven, Petar Sucic could make his first Serie A start since September.
Indeed, the 21-year-old midfielder is the likeliest candidate to take Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s place in the engine room.
Piotr Zielinski, who replaced the injured veteran in Naples, will start on the bench after an erratic performance against his former club.
