Inter Milan XI vs Cagliari – Predicted lineup and team news
Inter Milan Team News
Cristian Chivu has received a welcome boost with the return to full fitness of captain Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine forward has recovered from the back issues that sidelined him against Juventus and forced him to miss the Champions League opener against Ajax. Martinez has an outstanding record versus Cagliari, having found the net 11 times in as many clashes, including an impressive seven goals in the last five meetings with the Sardinians.
Chivu is expected to hand the starting goalkeeper duties to Josep Martinez, signalling a potential rotation choice over Yann Sommer. The Spanish shot-stopper replaced Sommer for the win of Sassuolo. On the injury front, Ange-Yoan Bonny remains uncertain for the fixture after sustaining an ankle injury. The French forward is currently working apart from the main squad, and his participation in the trip to Sardinia depends on his recovery progress.
Inter’s defensive unit looks solid and fully available with Alessando Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi, and Manuel Akanji likely to anchor the back three. Meanwhile, the wing-back roles will probably be filled by Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco.
Inter Milan Predicted Lineup
Inter Milan Predicted XI: Josep Martinez; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Thuram.
