Lautaro Martinez Returns! Inter Boosted for Crucial Roma Showdown
4 Apr
Summary
- Akanji moves to right center-back, Acerbi selected over De Vrij in defense.
- Mkhitaryan is recovered and expected to be on the bench.
- Lautaro Martinez returns to starting lineup alongside Thuram.

Cristian Chivu faces a defensive reshuffle for Sunday's Easter clash against Roma. Manuel Akanji will play at right center-back, while Francesco Acerbi has been selected over Stefan de Vrij for the central defensive role due to the absences of Carlos Augusto and Yann Bisseck. Acerbi's fresh legs, having stayed during the international break, provide an advantage.
The team receives a significant boost with Henrikh Mkhitaryan expected to be available on the bench. The headline news is the return of captain Lautaro Martinez to the starting eleven, alongside Thuram, after a five-week layoff. His presence is anticipated to energize the squad for this critical fixture.
