Serie A: Inzaghi to shuffle Inter lineup against Empoli after Champions League draw
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is set to shuffle his team’s lineup against Empoli after UEFA Champions League draw.
Inter recently drew 1-1 against Real Sociedad in their Wednesday Champions League opener. The infamous result has now led Inzaghi to consider making changes to his squad ahead of their upcoming clash.
The Nerazzurri had a challenging outing in Spain, salvaging a point, thanks to a late equalizer from Lautaro Martinez.
While Inter have started well in their domestic league this season, and are keen to maintain their position at the top of the table as the title race begins to take shape, they are yet to replicate same in Europe’s elite tournament with their first game.
Inzaghi acknowledges the importance of every game in the initial months of the campaign.
Meanwhile, reports have revealed that his strategic adjustments include handing Davide Frattesi his first start.
The midfielder is said to have proven his talent after his impressive performances, which include a goal in the derby and an assist to Lautaro in his recent substitute appearances.
Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic will make way for the bench, with star striker Lautaro joining him in the reserve role. In their place, Inzaghi will entrust Marcus Thuram and Alexis Sanchez to lead the frontline.
