Light At The End Of Tunnel – Brazil Wingback Fit: In Matchday Squad For Inter Milan Vs Monza Clash | OneFootball

Carlos Augusto is in contention for the starting XI in tomorrow’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Monza.

According to Sky Sport Italia vs FCInterNews, the Brazilian star has made the matchday squad after recovering from injury.

Simone Inzaghi didn’t have the ex-Monza wingback at his disposal for Wednesday’s trip to Rotterdam.

However, Inter beat Feyenoord, nonetheless.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Bastoni played on the wing amid a substantial injury crisis.

Augusto’s recovery comes as a massive boost for Inter.

Indeed, with Federico Dimarco and Nicola Zalewski still on the sidelines, he’s the only natural left wingback.

His return to action will allow Bastoni to reclaim his place in the back three, even though he excelled at De Kuip.

But Inzaghi would likely play this cautious and leave the 26-year-old on the bench.

Meanwhile, Bastoni will start on the wing again.

Elsewhere, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will regain their spots in the midfield.

Finally, Joaquin Correa could partner Marcus Thuram in attack.
