After missing the last league match against Pisa due to the flu, Ange-Yoan Bonny remains at high risk of missing out again ahead of tomorrow evening’s Coppa Italia fixture. Against Venezia, in fact, Inter will be playing for direct access to the quarter-finals in a single-leg match scheduled at San Siro with kick-off at 21:00.
The initial idea of Cristian Chivu was to give the starting pair of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram a rest, giving Bonny a starting spot alongside Pio Esposito. However, as reported by Sky Sport, the Frenchman has not yet trained with the team. Although the flu is now behind him, the striker is still not at his best physically.
Chivu will wait until tomorrow before making a final decision on the striker and to see if he will at least be available for the bench. At this point, the possibility of a starting spot for the former Parma player seems to be ruled out. In that case, either Diouf or Frattesi could be moved up to play behind Pio Esposito.
