Chivu towards a surprise choice for Udinese: Lautaro on the bench

According to Sky Sport, Cristian Chivu is considering the possibility of initially leaving Lautaro Martinez on the bench for tonight’s match against Udinese at San Siro. The final decision will be communicated to the team during the technical meeting scheduled shortly.

Matteo Barzaghi explained: “The technical meeting will take place shortly. But the news is that Lautaro Martinez should rest and not start the match. We are working on it. Chivu has not yet communicated anything to the team, but it would be the news of the day and it would be interesting news, also to understand who would play in his place. Therefore, Lautaro should not start tonight.”

The Nerazzurri coach is therefore reflecting on a choice that would represent a significant surprise in the initial lineup. It remains to be seen who would take the place of the Argentine captain should the decision be confirmed.
