Resurgent Iran Superstar Set To Start In Pivotal Inter Milan Vs Lazio Serie A Game | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi will be in the starting line-up when Inter Milan and Lazio square off at Stadio San Siro this weekend.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Iranian’s resurgence couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment.

The 32-year-old’s first season in Serie A looked destined to fail until not long ago.

However, Mehdi Taremi has turned his fortunes around down the final stretch.

As a result, he has won Simone Inzaghi’s trust, even though he continues to struggle in front of goal.

Despite only netting one goal in Serie A this season, Taremi’s overall contribution has significantly improved lately.

After an impressive showing against Barcelona in the second leg, he drew a crucial penalty against Torino last weekend.

In doing so, Taremi has leapfrogged Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa in the pecking order.

Now that Lautaro Martinez is out of the squad, he will join forces with Marcus Thuram in attack.

Indeed, they should lead the line in a must-win clash against Lazio on Sunday.
