Inter Milan are aiming to bounce back with a win when Cristian Chivu’s side welcome Sassuolo to the San Siro on Sunday night. A midweek win in Eurpope has lifted the mood after consecutive Serie A setbacks.
Inter Milan vs Sassuolo – Predicted lineup and team news
Inter Milan Team News
Despite a confident 2-0 victory over Ajax in midweek Champions League action, Chivu’s men have struggled domestically. They kicked off with a dominant 5-0 rout of Torino but stumbled in back-to-back league matches, falling to Udinese at home and losing a dramatic contest to Juventus. Defensive fragilities were especially evident during the Derby d’Italia, where Inter let a lead slip away late on.
For this fixture, coach Chivu is tipped to shake up his lineup, with rumours of as many as five alterations from the team that started in Europe. Lautaro Martinez, who sat out the Ajax victory to manage his recent back pain, appears ready for a return to the starting lineup, having completed extra fitness sessions.
Matteo Darmian is back in full training after overcoming a back problem and is available for selection. Yann Bisseck is in line to rotate with Manuel Akanji in defence, and Petar Sucic plus Carlos Augusto are pushing for places in the lineup, likely at the expense of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Federico Dimarco.
Inter Milan Predicted Lineup
Inter Milan Predicted XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Augusto; Thuram, Martinez
