Official Starting Lineups – Inter Milan Vs Cagliari: Federico Dimarco & Nicola Zalewski Start | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Federico Dimarco and Nicola Zaewski on the flanks against Cagliari. This evening’s Serie A matchday 32 clash kicks off at 18.00 CET.

Inter Milan take on Cagliari in Serie A this evening.

The Nerazzurri will feel that they must beat the Rossoblu in order to keep the pressure on Napoli in the title race.

However, Cagliari will not prove straightforward opposition, whatever their position in the table suggests.

There will be huge motivation for the Sardinians to get an upset result as a boost for their top fight survival bid.

Moreover, Inter saw just how dangerous the teams lower in the table can be when they squandered a 2-0 advantage to draw away to Parma last weekend.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri will hardly be underestimating this evening’s opposition.

The most significant team news for Inter comes in the wide areas.

There, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to completely change things up compared to the team that started against Bayern Munich in midweek.

Firstly, Federico Dimarco returns to the starting eleven after having played no part in Munich.

Meanwhile, at right-wingback, Nicola Zalewski makes his first ever start for Inter. Therefore, Matteo Darmian gets a rest for the first time in five matches.

Between the posts, then, it is Yann Sommer as usual.

In defense, meanwhile, there are more changes. Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Carlos Augusto start in the back three.

Therefore, all of Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni drop to the bench.

In midfield, meanwhile, there’s one notable change: Davide Frattesi starts in place of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, having come off the bench to score the winner against Bayern.

Then, Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella retain their starting places.

Lastly, in attack Marko Arnautovic starts, leading the line alongside Lautaro Martinez.
