Bastoni starting in the derby, change in midfield: Chivu's choices

The first Australian derby in history could see an Inter side with some changes compared to the lineup that took the field last Saturday in Hong Kong against Manchester City. The match is scheduled for tomorrow at Perth’s Optus Stadium, and according to Sky Sport, Chivu is considering some changes to the starting eleven.

In defense, Alessandro Bastoni is expected to return, likely taking the place of Carlos Augusto in the back three in front of Josep Martinez. Alongside him will be Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck, confirming the setup already seen in previous outings.

In midfield, Piotr Zielinski could start, replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The central pairing will be completed by Nicolò Barella and Aleksandar Stankovic, with Federico Dimarco confirmed on the left flank. On the opposite wing, Luis Henrique is expected to play, preferred over Andy Diouf.

In attack, finally, the pair of Pio Esposito and Jamal Iddrissou, already used in the last Asian match, could be confirmed.
