Summer Signing Set To Replace Poland International For Inter Milan In Pisa Trip

Inter Milan head into a delicate away match at Pisa with Cristian Chivu ready to reshape his starting XI after the defeat in Madrid.

The major update arrived in the afternoon: Ange-Yoan Bonny has pulled out due to illness and will not travel, reducing the coach’s attacking options for the weekend.

According to Sky Sport, via FCInterNews, Yann Sommer keeps his place in goal.

Meanwhile Francesco Acerbi is expected to return at the heart of the back three.

Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni are set to line up either side of him as the Nerazzurri revert to their usual defensive structure.

In midfield, Chivu is preparing to bring back his first-choice configuration, but with one key change.

Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu remain confirmed.

Meanwhile summer signing Petar Sucic is set to start on the left of the trio.

The Croatian replaces Piotr Zielinski, who reported discomfort after the match at the Metropolitano.

Meanwhile, the flanks are also set for rotation.

Federico Dimarco stays nailed on at left wing-back.

However, on the opposite side Luis Henrique is currently ahead of Carlos Augusto.

Chivu wants greater energy and attacking push on the right as Inter look to reset after midweek.

With Bonny unavailable, Inter will rely on their established strike partnership. Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez are expected to lead the line, with Pio Esposito the only alternative on the bench.
