Inter planning changes against Atletico Madrid

There are stories Inter are leaning in the direction of some adjustments within the Champions League showdown with Atletico Madrid, beginning Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij.

The Nerazzurri have a 1-0 first leg lead because of the Marko Arnautovic strike and the decider is on the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday at 20.00 GMT.

Arnautovic and Carlos Augusto do not make the journey because of muscular points, with Juan Cuadrado and Stefano Sensi long-term absentees.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Simone Inzaghi is planning some adjustments to the beginning XI.

The primary will see De Vrij get the nod slightly than Francesco Acerbi in defence, because the veteran is just not fairly at 100 per cent following his lay-off.

The opposite is a really attack-minded transfer with Dumfries most popular to Matteo Darmian on the fitting facet of the five-man midfield.

Dumfries is mostly chosen towards extra defensive sides to interrupt them down and isn’t identified for his defensive or tactical self-discipline.

Benjamin Pavard, Federico Dimarco and Lautaro Martinez had been rested for the Serie A win over Bologna, so all of them return to the beginning XI.

Hakan Calhanoglu is match once more after damage, as is Marcus Thuram.

Possible line-up (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez
