Official Starting Lineups – Empoli Vs Inter Milan: Yann Bisseck & Matteo Darmian Start

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Yann Bisseck and Matteo Darmian in defense away to Empoli. This evening’s Serie A Match Day 10 kicks off at 18.30 CET.

Inter are looking to return to winning ways following a 4-4 draw against Juventus last weekend.

After winning four consecutive league matches on either side of October’s international break, the Nerazzurri slipped on Sunday.

However, they are still within touching distance of leaders Napoli, trailing Antonio Conte’s side by seven points with a game in hand.

Furthermore, with games every three days, the Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to rotate the squad.

Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has made a handful of changes to the team that drew with Juventus in Serie A this past Sunday.
