Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has two doubts on his mind ahead of tonight’s high-stakes Champions League game against Sparta Prague.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, both dilemmas are in the midfield department.
Losing Hakan Calhanoglu to injury during the Supercoppa Italiana final has depleted Inzaghi’s midfield options.
Kristjan Asllani has regularly deputized for the 30-year-old Turkish star.
However, his performances haven’t always been equal to the task, making the Nerazzurri boss question his choice.
Furthermore, Nicolo Barella has been omnipresent in the engine room, starting the last seven matches on the trot.
Barella could use some rest. But he has been vital to Inter’s tactical set-up.
As such, Inzaghi may run the risk of overexerting him in a crucial phase of the season.
Davide Frattesi eagerly awaits his chance to impress. Unfortunately for him, the ex-Cagliari midfielder is still in pole position to start.
As for Asllani, this may be his last opportunity to prove his worth.
Otherwise, he could soon wave goodbye to his career at Giuseppe Meazza.
The only viable alternative for the Albanian ace is Piotr Zielinski.
However, Inzaghi rarely changes players’ positions, so Asllani is good for another starting role.
