Inter has a week to bounce back after the bitter defeat against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. The Nerazzurri must bounce back immediately against Genoa at San Siro, to best launch themselves into a busy schedule, with the head-to-head clash with Napoli just around the corner.
In this respect, Saturday night’s challenge will be very delicate not only for the 3 points at stake. Inzaghi, in fact, will have to deal with 3 players under warning and who, in case of a caution, risk missing the Maradona clash.
We’re talking about Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolò Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Three key players for Inzaghi, who will want to ensure they don’t miss the clash against Napoli. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two midfielders could even rest, although the coach hardly ever drops them.
The situation is different in defense, where Carlos Augusto’s injury seems to make Bastoni’s presence against Genoa almost mandatory, despite the warning.
