Inter Shakes Up Lineup for Roma Match with Arnautovic and Frattesi
Inter Milan is set to field a modified lineup in their upcoming Serie A match against Roma, with Marko Arnautovic expected to partner Lautaro Martinez in attack. The match, rescheduled for Sunday at 13:00 GMT at San Siro, will also see Carlos Augusto and Davide Frattesi step into the starting eleven.
Coach Simone Inzaghi faces forced changes due to suspensions for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alessandro Bastoni. Injuries have also sidelined Marcus Thuram, while Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski may only be fit enough for the bench.
With the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona looming, Inzaghi must balance his squad carefully. Carlos Augusto is expected to reinforce the back three, while Frattesi gets a rare start in midfield.
Arnautovic, now back to full fitness, is likely to lead the line alongside Lautaro Martinez. This decision comes after Joaquin Correa’s disappointing performance against Bologna and Mehdi Taremi’s ineffective showing in the Coppa Italia semi-final loss to AC Milan.
Probable Inter Lineup (3-5-2):
Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Carlos Augusto; Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Barella, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Arnautovic
As Inter aims to maintain their position at the top of Serie A, these tactical adjustments could prove crucial in overcoming a challenging Roma side.
