Bayer Leverkusen-Inter, the probable formations
Inter pays a visit to Bayer Leverkusen on the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the BayArena. The Nerazzurri go in the hunt for their fifth consecutive seal in Europe to stay in the wake of leading Liverpool. On the other side, the Rossoneri are looking for a victory that would mean hooking up in the standings right to Simone Inzaghi’s men.
Xabi Alonso recovers Shick in attack: the former Sampdoria and Roma man will play for a shirt with Tella to pair with Wirtz. In midfield there'è Xhaka in the box, assisted by Palacios and Andrich, on the outsides Frimpong and Grimaldo. Defense headed by Tah, between the posts Hradecky.
Inzaghi has to do without Dumfries, who is ill: in his place Darmian on the right lane, with Carlos Augusto, favored over Dimarco, on the opposite one. In midfield space for Frattesi and Zielinski, in attack there'è Taremi with Thuram. In defense De Vrij forced into overtime, in goal Sommer.
