Inter-Como, Chivu's choices: Bastoni in defense, doubts in midfield and attack

The eve of Inter–Como brings with it some unresolved lineup questions. According to Corriere dello Sport, during today’s final training session at Appiano Gentile, Chivu will try to finalize the last details ahead of Sunday’s match at 6pm at the Meazza.

In defense, doubts seem to be minimal. Bastoni, who missed the match against Feyenoord due to suspension, should return to the starting lineup, completing the backline alongside Akanji and Bisseck.

The biggest uncertainties concern the midfield and the left flank. On the right wing, Spence could once again find space, while for the left central midfield position, there is competition between Zielinski, Sucic, and Mkhitaryan. On the opposite side, Carlos Augusto, considered the most in-form player at the moment, is a candidate to displace Dimarco on the left wing.

In attack, Thuram will start: in the meantime, the striker has learned of Zidane’s call-up, news that was received with satisfaction. Alongside him, the choice will fall on either Esposito or Bonny, with the decision, according to Corriere dello Sport, also requiring consideration of the match plan.
