Simone Inzaghi will have to contend with injuries, especially in defense, ahead of the complicated away game on Sunday against Fiorentina. In addition to Acerbi, who is out due to a strain in the right thigh biceps suffered against Verona, Pavard also joined Inter’s injury list last night due to a hamstring issue.
Therefore, in defense, the Nerazzurri are forced to make choices and they will have the young Tomas Palacios as the only role substitute available on the bench, also considering the possibility for the coach to use Darmian or Carlos Augusto as third defenders. From midfield onwards, however, we expect Inzaghi to field the usual starters with the return of Thu-La from the beginning.
Here are the probable lineups for Fiorentina-Inter:
