Inter, Acerbi at risk for Atletico Madrid
Inter, Acerbi's injury
Alarm at Inter for the condition of Francesco Acerbi, the Nerazzurri defender underwent instrumental examinations that showed a slight muscle soreness in the soleus of his right leg. He will be out for the upcoming league match against Salernitana, but also his presence in the Champions match with Atletico Madrid è uncertain.
However, a mini-turnover to face the Liverani-led Salernitana is on the horizon. In addition to assessing Acerbi’s condition, it will also be important to check Frattesi’s. Inzaghi hopes to be able to count on him for the next match, but it may be necessary to make some adjustments in the starting eleven.
Recovering Frattesi would allow Barella to be given some rest, while it could be time for Klaassen to come in, allowing Mkhitaryan to rest. There could also be rotation in defense, with De Vrij guaranteed and perhaps the use of Bisseck in place of Pavard. Dumfries and Carlos Augusto could be deployed on the flanks, while Arnautovic could get a starting shirt in attack, giving Lautaro some rest.
