For the second consecutive time, Didier Deschamps has chosen not to call up Benjamin Pavard, who therefore – as in September – has not joined the French national teams retreat, staying in Appiano Gentile to recharge after somewhat uncertain start to the season.
Simone Inzaghi has fielded him from the first minute five times in nine total Inter matches, with a slight variation from last year, when the former Bayern player was an irreplaceable starter. On some occasions, including the match against Manchester City, Yann Bisseck was indeed preferred.
The Corriere dello Sport notes that these two full weeks of training at Pinetina could be very useful for Pavard to regain his best form and regain a starting position, considering also the uncertainties of Bisseck, including the recent one against Torino on Zapatas goal.
According to the Roman daily, it is very likely that the Frenchman will be fielded from the first minute in the first match after the break, namely Roma-Inter, while three days later it could be the Germans turn again in the Champions League against the Young Boys. After that, the balance will be assessed to decide who of the two to field against Juventus, on October 27.
