Sanchez and Frattesi are hoping to be in the starting line up against Salzburg. Among the called-up players, Arnautovic returns.
According to ‘Gazzetta dello Sport‘, Simone Inzaghi plans to make some changes to the team that beat Atalanta in the weekend. in preparation for the match against Salzburg, which could secure Inter’s qualification for the Champions League round of 16 with two games to spare.
Apart from Matteo Darmian, who will naturally replace the injured Benjamin Pavard, as he did in the previous match, the real defensive change is Alessandro Bastoni, with Francesco Acerbi completing the trio in front of Yann Sommer instead of Stefan De Vrij, who will start from the bench.
On the left flank, the coach’s intention is to give Federico Dimarco a rest and play Carlos Augusto, although this won’t apply on the right, where Denzel Dumfries will play due to a lack of alternatives (Darmian in defense, Cuadrado will return after the break).
The midfield question revolves around the central midfielders, as Hakan Calhanoglu is a fixed choice. It remains to be seen whether either Nicolò Barella or Henrikh Mkhitaryan will make way for Davide Frattesi, who may be ready to start against Frosinone.
In the attack, it’s more likely that Marcus Thuram will be rested, and Alexis Sanchez will partner with Lautaro Martinez. On the bench, Marko Arnautovic will make a return, fully recovered from the injury he sustained against Empoli.
