Inter, Chivu in trouble: one defender out and Lautaro in doubt with Ajax

Bad news at Inter. Coach Cristian Chivu, in fact, is likely to have to do without Lautaro Martinez for the trip to Amsterdam, where the Nerazzurri will make their Champions League debut on Wednesday, September 17 at 9 p.m. at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

The Nerazzurri captain missed the finishing session due to a back problem, training separately in the gym. The Argentine bomber still left for Amsterdam with the team but his presence from the first minute with the Dutch remains in strong doubt.

In case of Lautaro Martinez’s forfeit, Ange-Yoan Bonny is ahead of Francesco Pio Esposito for a starting shirt, alongside Marcus Thuram, criticized by Beneamata fans for his attitude in the derby d’Italia with Juventus.

The problems for Chivu do not end there: Matteo Darmian was stopped by lower back pain and will not be available to the Romanian coach for the challenge with the Lancers. In defense, Bisseck and De Vrij could make up for Akanji and Acerbi, respectively.
