Report – Ex Marseille Star To Make Full Debut In Inter Milan Vs Urawa Red Diamonds FIFA World Cup Clash | OneFootball

Wingback Luis Henrique will make his first ever start for Inter Milan in today’s Club World Cup group stage clash with Urawa Red Diamonds.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan signed Luis Henrique from Marseille earlier this month.

The Nerazzurri had been in talks with the French club for several months. They had prioritized snapping Henrique up before the start of the Club World Cup.

And that is exactly what Inter did. The 23-year-old has had a few training sessions to really start to fit in ahead of the tournament this summer.

Luis Henrique has already made his first appearance for Inter Milan.

The Brazilian came off the bench in Wednesday’s group stage opener against Monterrey.

It was a highly promising debut. Henrique’s pace, acceleration, and tricky change of direction were all on display as he offered Inter an outlet down their right flank.

And today against Urawa Red Diamonds, the former Marseille man will be on show right from the start.

The Gazzetta dello Sport report that Cristian Chivu will give Henrique the opportunity to start at right-wingback for this evening’s group stage clash.
