A Return To The Status Quo For Inter In Their Clash Against Liverpool In The Champions League

It will be a swift return to the action on the field for former Serie A champions, Inter Milan after their recent thumping of Como in the league and this time, they will be facing European giant, Liverpool, also at home but it’s a different level of opponent than their last victim.

More Details

In that game against Cesc Fabregas coached side, Cristian Chivu decided to play Luis Henrique in the right wingback role as the usual starter, Denzel Dumfries is still out with injury and for the Brazilian, he paid back the faith of the coach in him with a great performance, starting with an assist for the opening goal.

Notwithstanding, the coach is expected to revert back to the choice of Carlos Augusto for this crucial game that could decide the club’s fate in Europe’s elite competition when they face the Reds at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium but that won’t be the only expected changes.

According to a report Tuttosport, the Brazilian star might get the nod ahead of Luis Henrique as despite his outstanding performance against Como, the former Marseille star may have to settle for a place on the bench but he’s not the only one expected to start from the bench after the recent win.

Indeed, Luis Henrique enjoyed his best game for the Nerazzurri on Saturday, registering his first assist in Serie A but Carlos Augusto remains the frontrunner to fill the role vacated by Dumfries on Tuesday as the former Monza defender also scored off the bench against Como.

This is not the only reason why Chivu has decided to start the 26-year-old as he offers more defensively unlike Henrique and the other changes that we could see in this match will be in the defense but nothing is guaranteed yet as regards the starting line-up for this encounter.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan looks set to make his first competitive start since October after regaining full fitness and then Yann Bisseck could dislodge Francesco Acerbi at the heart of Inter’s defense but the pair might even start amidst reports that Manuel Akanji might not be fully fit.

In a related development, the Nerazzurri will have to contend with their city rivals, AC Milan for sought-after Sassuolo center-back Tarik Muharemovic and this is according to Tuttosport which has it that the Rossoneri are ready to challenge their San Siro rivals for the defender’s signature.

Muharemovic has been on Inter’s shortlist since the beginning of the season as the 22-year-old has caught Beppe Marotta’s attention amid an impressive start to life in Serie A and the Bosnian youngster has cemented his place in Fabio Grosso’s starting lineup, making 11 league appearances so far.

After failing to nail down a regular spot with Juventus, he left to join Sassuolo in 2024, but the Turin giants could still profit from his potential transfer to San Siro as they have a 50% of any future transfer fee, meaning a move to either Milan club could prove lucrative for the Bianconeri.
