The Champions League is back and Inter is set to continue on the path set out in the match against Red Star. After a tough opener at Manchester City, the Nerazzurri’s second away fixture is in Bern against the Young Boys, who are still at 0 points.
The game, sandwiched between clashes with Roma and Juventus, could be an opportunity for Inzaghi to make some changes, as seen in previous European outings. With the four injured players – Acerbi, Buchanan, Calhanoglu and Asllani – missing, there’s likely to be a chance from the first minute for de Vrij, Dumfries, Frattesi, Carlos Augusto, Taremi and Arnautovic. Pavard is leading over Bastoni, while Zielinski should be able to start from the first minute.
