There is still more than a week to go before Inter returns to the field, and the team will take advantage of this break to recover physical and mental energy. The best possible version of the Nerazzurri will be needed, in fact, to face Milan in the derby on November 23 at San Siro. A match that is, in every respect, considered a direct clash in the race for the Scudetto, between two teams occupying the top part of the standings.
During these two weeks, Cristian Chivu will not only have the task of getting Marcus Thuram—who stayed at Appiano Gentile after not being called up for the national team—back to top form, but also of resolving the question of who will make up the defensive trio in the derby. Apart from the untouchable Akanji and Bastoni, in fact, the coach has recently rotated the central role quite often.
Acerbi, de Vrij, and Bisseck are therefore in the running for a starting spot, which they will compete for in the coming days. For different reasons, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, all three will be at Appiano working and trying to convince Chivu for a place against Milan.
Acerbi clearly starts with an advantage, coming off an excellent match against Lazio. While Bisseck is eager for such an opportunity from the start, the great reliability that de Vrij could also guarantee should not be underestimated.
