In the first three rounds of this championship, Inter, barring some changes due to injuries or delays in condition, has started from the men and the certainties of the past season. Simone Inzaghi has preferred in this first phase to rely on those who have been within the Nerazzurri mechanisms for at least a year, postponing the integration of new purchases.
Of the new arrivals, for example, only Taremi had a chance from the first minute due to the unavailability of Lautaro Martinez and two in-game entries. For Zielinski and Josep Martinez, waiting for the first call-up of Tomas Palacios, their official debut with the Nerazzurri colors has been postponed.
Who has a great chance to start from the first minute in next week’s match with Monza on the return of the Nationals is precisely Zielinski. The Polish midfielder was slowed down by a muscle injury that kept him out for over two weeks and he was already hoping to be able to carve out a few minutes in the end against Atalanta.
According to Tuttosport, in view of the tour de force that will see Inter play against Manchester City and Milan within a few days, Inzaghi could adopt against Monza the first real turnover of the year. In that case, Mkhitaryan permitting, the former Napoli would be launched on the field from the first minute. Less chance for Josep Martinez, who arrived in the summer from Genoa as Sommer’s backup.
