Italy Midfielder Hit & Miss In Inter Milan 2-0 Lazio Coppa Italia Win | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi struggled to convince in yesterday’s 2-0 Coppa Italia triumph against Lazio.

With Inter facing a high-stakes Serie A clash against Napoli, Simone Inzaghi rested Nicolo Barella last night.

That signaled Frattesi’s return to the starting line-up for only the third time this calendar year.

However, the 25-year-old failed to make any impact on the pitch and struggled to assert himself in the midfield.

Davide Frattesi Fails to Live Up to Expectations in Inter Milan Win vs Lazio

Davide Frattesi endured a rough first half.

Despite offering an energetic showing, he did very little in possession.

Furthermore, his trademark runs behind the lines yielded no end product.

As a result, Frattesi’s performance highlighted his ongoing inconsistency this season.

Inter blocked his transfer to Roma in the January transfer window despite the player’s alleged request to leave.

However, unless the ex-Sassuolo star shows any sign of improvement, the Nerazzurri will likely sanction his departure in the summer.

In Frattesi’s defense, he played on painkillers last night.
