Inter’s Tactical Adjustments and Player Updates Before Parma Clash

Inter Milan is gearing up for their upcoming match against Parma, amidst a mix of sudden emergencies and long-term injuries. The proximity to their Champions League fixture adds an extra layer of complexity to their preparation.

At Appiano Gentile, the morning training session saw some experimental tactics. With Frattesi absent due to a club-approved leave, Inzaghi deployed Calhanoglu as a right midfielder, while Asllani took the playmaker role. However, Frattesi is expected to be available and likely to start at Tardini stadium.

In an unexpected move, Carlos Augusto was tested on the right flank. This adjustment may be a precautionary measure following Dumfries’ extended absence. Initially, Darmian occupied the right wing position but later handed over to the former Monza player.

Dumfries’ injury situation has worsened, with recovery time potentially extending beyond the Milan Coppa Italia return leg. The Dutch player might only return after the first week of May, significantly impacting Inter’s tactical plans.

On a positive note, Lautaro Martinez trained with the main group and could feature in the starting lineup alongside Thuram against Parma.

Probable formation (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro.
