Inter Mulls Unexpected Lineup Change for 2025 Super Cup Clash with Milan

As Inter Milan prepares for the Supercoppa Italiana final against AC Milan, the team is considering an unexpected change to their lineup. With Marcus Thuram likely sidelined due to injury, reports suggest that coach Simone Inzaghi may opt to start Joaquin Correa instead of the anticipated choice, Mehdi Taremi.

The high-stakes match is scheduled for Monday at 19:00 GMT at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Thuram’s absence stems from a minor adductor injury sustained during Inter’s semi-final victory over Atalanta. While the injury is not severe, Inzaghi is hesitant to risk aggravating it, given Inter’s busy upcoming schedule across various competitions.

Lautaro Martinez is expected to lead the attack, but the choice of his partner is now in question. Despite Taremi’s appearance as a substitute against Atalanta, sources in Riyadh indicate that Correa may be favored to start alongside Martinez.

Correa, 30, has had limited playing time this season, featuring in only five Serie A matches. However, he made a significant impact in a match against Hellas Verona in November, contributing a goal and two assists in a 5-0 victory. Since then, his involvement has been minimal, with just a brief 20-minute appearance against Parma in early December.

This potential tactical shift highlights Inter’s need to adapt their strategy for the Milan derby. The decision between Correa and Taremi could prove crucial in determining the outcome of this important fixture.
