Inter Milan is set to make significant changes to their lineup for the upcoming Serie A match against Torino. Following their thrilling Champions League victory over Barcelona, manager Simone Inzaghi has decided to rest several key players and experiment with new tactical approaches.
The Nerazzurri have left four star players – Lautaro Martinez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Benjamin Pavard, and Davide Frattesi – out of the squad for the away game. This decision comes as Inter balances their pursuit of the Serie A title with their Champions League ambitions.
In light of these absences, Inzaghi is expected to heavily rotate his squad. Players such as Carlos Augusto, Kristjan Asllani, Piotr Zielinski, Mehdi Taremi, and Joaquin Correa are likely to feature in the starting lineup.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Inter`s tactical shift is the potential new role for Nicola Zalewski. Traditionally used as a wing-back, Zalewski may be deployed as a mezz`ala (half-winger) in a five-man midfield. This positional experiment has reportedly been tested during recent training sessions.
Probable Inter Milan Lineup Against Torino:
Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Zalewski, Asllani, Zielinski, Carlos Augusto; Correa, Taremi
The match is scheduled to kick off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday at 18:00 CET. Despite the squad rotation, Inter will be aiming for a victory to maintain pressure on league leaders Napoli and keep their Scudetto hopes alive.
