Inter Milan Coach Prepares Strongest Possible XI Vs AC Milan – Ex Bayern Munich & Arsenal Stars To Start | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi will go with the strongest possible Inter Milan starting eleven against AC Milan, with Benjamin Pavard and Henrikh Mkhitayran to start.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They note that Hakan Calhanoglu, however, is still a doubt to start.

Inter take on AC Milan in the derby tomorrow.

There will certainly be a hunger for revenge on the part of the Nerazzurri. They’ve lost twice to Milan already this season, in Serie A and the Supercoppa Italiana.

Moreover, Inter will feel that they need three points in order to keep the pressure on Napoli.

Inzaghi To Start Strongest Possible Inter XI Vs AC Milan – Pavard & Mkhitaryan To Start

For these reasons, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has every intention of starting as strong a lineup as he can tomorrow.

Yann Sommer will naturally start in goal. He’s played every minute of Inter’s Serie A campaign so far.

Then, Benjamin Pavard will get the nod in defense ahead of Yann Bisseck. He’ll complete a back three alongside Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni.

In midfield the big doubt is whether Hakan Calhanoglu will be fit enough to start. If he is unable to, then Kristjan Asllani will get the nod.

Meanwhile, reports the Gazzetta, former Arsenal and Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will certainly start. Nicolo Barella will complete the midfield trio for Inter.

On the flanks it will be Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries.

And in attack, Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez will certainly lead the line.
