Official Starting Lineups – Fiorentina Vs Inter Milan: Lautaro Martinez & Marcus Thuram Start
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack against Fiorentina. This evening’s Serie A matchday 14 clash kicks off at 18.00 CET.
Inter take on Fiorentina away in Serie A this evening.
Meanwhile, with the two teams level on points at the start of the match, it is little surprise to see Nerazzurri coach Inzaghi go with a strong starting eleven.
Firstly, Yann Sommer starts in goal. Therefore, the 35-year-old keeps his record of starting every match for Inter this season alive.
In front of Sommer, meanwhile, Inzaghi has gone with a back three of Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni.
Then, on the flanks, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries get the nod.
Lautaro Martinez & Marcus Thuram Lead The Line
In midfield, meanwhile, it is a familiar trio. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella start in the centre for Inter.
Lastly, in attack, Inzaghi has gone with the first-choice duo.
Captain Lautaro Martinez and French international duo Marcus Thuram have not started a match together since before the November international break.
Instead, there have been opportunities for the likes of Joaquin Correa and Mehdi Taremi.
However, against Fiorentina this evening Martinez and Thuram lead the line as a tandem.
Meanwhile, Inter coach Inzaghi is having to work around a few notable injuries.
Benjamin Pavard is out with a thigh strain that he picked up in Inter’s Champions League win over RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, Francesco Acerbi is not yet back from a thigh problem of his own.
Then, Carlos Augusto is out with a knock.
And Inter backup keeper Raffaele Di Gennaro is not available, as he will undergo surgery on a finger injury.
Meanwhile, Inter Primavera duo Alessandro Calligaris and Mike Aidoo are in the senior squad today due to the injuries in goal and in defense.
