Inter Shuffle Squad for Genoa Clash Amidst Injury Crisis
14 Dec
Summary
- Inter faces forced defensive and midfield changes due to multiple injuries.
- Francesco Pio Esposito will partner Lautaro Martinez upfront for Inter.
- Daniele De Rossi's Genoa has shown recent resurgence with two wins.
Inter Milan enters their fixture against Genoa with a depleted squad, necessitating tactical adjustments in defense and midfield. The team is grappling with several injuries, including Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi, who were forced off in their recent Champions League match. This has led to opportunities for players like Carlos Augusto and the midfield pairing of Piotr Zielinski and Petar Sucic. Youngster Francesco Pio Esposito earns a start alongside Lautaro Martinez in the forward line.
Genoa, under the guidance of new head coach Daniele De Rossi, has experienced a notable turnaround. Following Patrick Vieira's departure, De Rossi has steered the team to two draws and consecutive victories against Verona and Udinese, successfully lifting them from the relegation zone. Despite ongoing injury concerns for several players, Morten Frendrup's return to midfield provides a boost.
The match, scheduled for 17:00 GMT at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, sees Genoa fielding a lineup that includes returning midfielder Morten Frendrup and an attacking duo of Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo. Inter's starting eleven features a reshuffled defense and midfield, aiming to overcome their injury woes against a resurgent Genoa side.
