Everything is ready at Via del Mare for the last championship commitment in January for Inter. In the 22nd round of Serie A, the Nerazzurri visit Lecce, with the obligation to get 3 points and respond to yesterday’s victory in Napoli, to not lose ground in the Scudetto race.
Inzaghi, therefore, does not want to underestimate the trip and relies on his starting attacking pair, made up of Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, who has found form of late. A rest in midfield, however, for Barella and Asllani, with Frattesi returning to the starting lineup after more than a month and Zielinski being deployed as a playmaker. Also back on the field from the 1st minute are Darmian and Carlos Augusto.
