Inter Milan vs Fiorentina – Predicted lineup and team news
Inter Milan Team News
Cristian Chivu’s side return home after suffering a 3-1 loss to Napoli, a result that leaves the Nerazzurri six points off the league summit. Nonetheless, Inter’s status as Serie A’s top scorers (19 goals) keeps spirits elevated among fans.
Manager Chivu faces selection headaches with experienced midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan sidelined due to a thigh injury, Marcus Thuram remaining unavailable long-term, and Matteo Darmian also ruled out. On the positive side, Davide Frattesi’s recovery from a muscle strain means he could feature from the bench.
Tactical changes are anticipated, with Croatian talent Petar Sucic likely to fill Mkhitaryan’s midfield role and promising striker Francesco Pio Esposito primed to join Lautaro Martinez up front.
Hakan Calhanoglu, a pivotal figure in Chivu’s lineup, will look to continue his strong form against Fiorentina. In defence, Stefan de Vrij may be preferred to Francesco Acerbi, while Carlos Augusto is in line to reclaim a starting berth on the left flank.
Inter Milan Predicted Lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Akanji, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Augusto; Esposito, Martinez.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8:45pm BST on Wednesday, 29th October.
