Official Starting Lineups – Inter Milan Vs Atalanta: Lautaro Martinez & Marcus Thuram Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has immediately entrusted his captain Lautaro Martinez with a starting berth against Atalanta upon his return from injury.

The Italian champions will be looking to make it two home wins in a row when they host La Dea at San Siro in a Lombardian Derby. The encounter kicks off at 20:45 CET.

The big news for the Nerazzurri is the return of their skipper and main talisman Lautaro Martinez.

The Argentine had to skip the previous outing against Lecce due to a muscular injury. He left his place upfront to Mehdi Taremi who made his full Serie A debut.

Nevertheless, Martinez has overcome his physical problem. He is now ready and raring to go, so Inzaghi will rely on his services from the start.

Therefore, the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner will start in attack alongside his usual partner-in-crime Marcus Thuram.

Inter Milan Captain Lautaro Martinez To Lead The Line

Moeover, Inzaghi has also confirmed the midfield trio of Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan once more.

On the flanks, Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco held off competition from Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Augusto to maintain their roles.

The backline also remains intact with Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni cementing their spots. As usual, Yann Sommer will start between the sticks.

The only absentee for the reigning Italian champions is Tajon Buchanan. The Canadian winger has been out with an injury since July and could remain on the sidelines until December.
