Inter Milan Manager Readies Significant Squad Overhaul Vs RB Leipzig – Eight Starters Vs Hellas Verona Move To The Bench

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is ready to overhaul his starting line-up for tonight’s UEFA Champions League home game against RB Leipzig.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Scudetto-winning coach could change up to eight players from the starting XI that trounced Hellas Verona on Saturday.

Joaquin Correa and Marcus Thuram had a field day at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi last weekend.

Indeed, the duo netted three of Inter’s five unanswered first-half goals as the Nerazzurri strolled to a 5-0 Serie A victory.

However, both will likely drop to the bench when the Italian heavyweights take on Leipzig later this evening.

Inzaghi’s men head into proceedings as pre-match favorites amid an eye-catching European journey.

A narrow 1-0 home triumph against Arsenal last time out preserved Inter’s unbeaten Champions League record this season.

Furthermore, they’re one of only two sides at Europe’s top table yet to concede a goal.

Yann Sommer and Alessandro Bastoni have been the cornerstones of Inter’s sturdy backline.

Therefore, they’ll retain their places in the starting line-up tonight.

After replacing the injured Francesco Acerbi against Verona, Stefan de Vrij will partner up with Bastoni.

Benjamin Pavard will take Yann Bisseck’s place on the right.

Moving higher up the pitch, Nicolo Barella is the only remaining starter from Saturday’s clash to protect his starting berth.

Indeed, Hakan Calhanoglu is back from injury, meaning Kristjan Asllani will return to the bench.

With Davide Frattesi sidelined with a minor injury, Piotr Zielinski will likely dislodge Hernikh Mkhitaryan.

Moreover, Federico Dimarco is ready for his first Champions League start this season at the expense of Carlos Augusto.

As aforementioned, Correa and Thuram will likely make way for Mehdi Taremi and Lautaro Martinez.

El Toro returned from the international break late. That’s why Inzaghi benched him against Verona.
