In a highly anticipated match, Inter Milan prepares to face Royale Union SG, with key player Francesco Pio Esposito expected to return to the starting lineup. Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Yann Sommer will also start in goal, replacing Josep Martinez.
Inter Milan’s Lineup Adjustments
With Marcus Thuram sidelined due to injury, coach Cristian Chivu faces a pivotal decision regarding the attacking lineup. Lautaro Martinez is likely to retain his position as the primary striker. Meanwhile, Esposito competes with Ange-Yoan Bonny for the final spot in the attack.
Potential Starting XI
- Yann Sommer (Goalkeeper)
- Lautaro Martinez (Forward)
- Francesco Pio Esposito (Forward)
- Ange-Yoan Bonny (Forward)
- Davide Frattesi (Midfield)
- Petar Sucic (Midfield)
Despite his recent back-to-back goals in Serie A, Bonny may find himself on the bench as Esposito aims to seize his opportunity. Martinez, known as “El Toro,” is expected to lead the line, although he faced challenges in the previous match against Roma.
Sommer’s Impressive Performance
Yann Sommer continues to be a reliable choice for Chivu, having started all Champions League matches so far this season. The 36-year-old Swiss goalkeeper has kept clean sheets against Ajax and Slavia Prague, reinforcing his role as the first-choice keeper.
As Inter Milan looks to secure a victory against Royale Union SG, the tactical decisions made by Cristian Chivu will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
