Inter Milan’s coach, Simone Inzaghi, is likely to give captain Lautaro Martinez a rest for their upcoming home game against Monza, who are currently at the bottom of the Serie A table.
The match is scheduled to begin at 8:45 PM Central European Time (7:45 PM GMT) at the San Siro stadium in Milan.
Instead of Martinez, Joaquin Correa is expected to play alongside Marcus Thuram in the forward positions. Additionally, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are anticipated to return to the starting lineup after starting the previous game against Feyenoord on the bench.
Inter will have Carlos Augusto back as an option for the left wing-back position. However, Alessandro Bastoni is still expected to start in that role. Francesco Acerbi is likely to move to the left side of the three-man defense, allowing Stefan de Vrij to play in the central defensive position.
While Yann Sommer will be available for selection, it is anticipated that Josep Martinez will be preferred as the goalkeeper, having achieved three clean sheets in his last four games across all competitions.
Monza’s lineup is expected to include Tomas Palacios, who is on loan from Inter, as well as former Inter players Danilo D’Ambrosio and Keita Balde. All three are likely to be in the starting eleven for Monza, coached by Alessandro Nesta.
