Ex Lazio Favourite To Make Rare Start In Inter Milan Vs Udinese Serie A Showdown | OneFootball

Forward Joaquin Correa is the favourite to start for Inter Milan in Sunday evening’s Serie A match against Udinese.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They predict the Argentine will get the nod over Marko Arnautovic.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has a bit of a selection headache ahead of his team’s first match back from the March international break.

Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez picked up a thigh problem during the break.

Therefore, the Argentine will not be part of the Inter squad for Sunday’s return to Serie A action. Inter host Udinese in their first match back.

On the other hand, Marcus Thuram will certainly be fit and firing. The Frenchman took the opportunity to improve his condition over the break after an ankle problem had held him back in recent weeks.

The big question therefore has been who would start in attack alongside Thuram.

Striker Mehdi Taremi has had a busy international break with Iran. Moreover, the former Porto striker has been dealing with fitness issues of his own.

Therefore, Taremi will hardly be at his freshest this weekend.

Then, veteran former West Ham United and Stoke City striker Marko Arnautovic is another option.

However, Arnautovic has also been away on international duty, with Austria.

On the other hand, former Lazio and Sevilla forward Joaquin Correa has stayed back with the Inter squad during the break.

Therefore, the 30-year-old has had a good opportunity to find a bit of form in training.

Accordingly, reports the Gazzetta, Inter coach Inzaghi is ready to give Joaquin Correa the nod this weekend against Udinese.
