Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Nicolo Barella in midfield against Como. This evening’s Serie A matchday 17 clash kicks off at 20.45 CET.
Inter coach Inzaghi has more or less opted for the strongest available starting eleven this evening.
Inter take on Como in Serie A. And while the Lariani have only just come up from Serie B, they have looked impressive against the big teams.
Therefore, Inter coach Inzaghi has not rested any key players from the starting eleven.
That does not, however, mean that there are no notable absences.
Inter are in the midst of a full-blown injury crisis in defense. Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard are still out, while Stefan de Vrij and Matteo Darmian are only fit enough for the bench.
Therefore, Inzaghi has selected a back three of Carlos Augusto, Alessandro Bastoni, and Yann Bisseck.
Nicolo Barella Starts In Midfield
In goal, meanwhile, Yann Sommer returns to the starting eleven after Josep Martinez got the chance to start against Udinese in the Coppa Italia.
Then on the flanks, Inzaghi has selected Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco.
In midfield, meanwhile, Inzaghi has made a notable choice.
Nicolo Barella is only just coming back from an injury – however, the 27-year-old has gotten the nod in the starting eleven this evening.
Barella completes a starting trio alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu.
And lastly, in attack, it is the strike partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
