Inter Milan XI vs AS Roma – Predicted lineup and team news
Inter Milan Team News
Cristian Chivu’s side travel without key striker Marcus Thuram, who picked up a hamstring injury during the club’s Champions League win over Slavia Prague. The Frenchman is expected to return later this month, with Napoli’s visit on October 25 pencilled in as his comeback target.
Inter are likely to choose between young striker Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny to support skipper Lautaro Martinez in attack. Bonny’s recent display in the 4-1 victory over Cremonese – which saw him register a goal and three assists – strengthens his claim for a starting place. Inter will also be without Matteo Darmian, sidelined by a calf injury.
Inter’s form has picked up significantly in recent weeks, with Chivu’s side stringing together three consecutive league victories that have propelled them into fourth place. The former defender has introduced a more aggressive pressing approach, encouraging his players to win possession higher up the pitch and transition into attack with greater pace and intensity.
Inter Milan Predicted Lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Akanji, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Bonny, Martinez.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Saturday 18th October.
