Inter this evening at 21:00 will be playing away against Bodo Glimt. Cristian Chivu still has some doubts to resolve regarding the lineup that will take the field in Norway, especially concerning the attacking pair.
The most important selection dilemma is right there, where, contrary to the rumors of recent days that favored the Thuram–Bonny duo, the Pio Esposito–Lautaro tandem could surprisingly be chosen. The PiLa could be the solution selected by the Nerazzurri coach. The decision will be made this morning. The two forwards have shown good chemistry on several occasions, especially in Serie A, with 4 assists from Pio to the captain between league and cups.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, several selection battles are still open. Sommer will be in goal, while in defense there will be room for Bastoni, with doubts between Bisseck and Akanji and between De Vrij and Acerbi. If the German starts from the first minute, Manuel would play as the central defender, otherwise he would move to the right-back position.
On the left there will be Carlos Augusto, while on the right Luis Henrique is competing for the spot with Andy Diouf, who scored against Dortmund and is eager to show Chivu he can also play as a winger. The Brazilian is favored, but the former Lens player could have a chance. In the middle, Barella, Mkhitaryan, and one between Sucic and Zielinski, with the Pole likely to be rested.
Below are the probable lineups for Bodo Glimt-Inter:
Bodo/Glimt (4-3-3): Haikin; Sjovold, Bjortuft, Gundersen, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Fet; Blomberg, Hogh, Hauge. Coach: Knutsen.
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Sucic, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto; Pio Esposito, Lautaro. Coach: Chivu.
