With two matches in a few days — Wednesday at the Penzo in Venice and Saturday in the derby against Milan at San Siro — the topic of rotation becomes central again at Pinetina. According to Sky Sport, Chivu could rotate in all areas of the field, including attack.

The most significant news concerns Thuram: despite being the most in-form player for the Nerazzurri, it is not ruled out that the striker could be rested ahead of the city derby. A managerial choice that reflects the need to distribute the workload between the two close fixtures.

In midfield, Zielinski, the match winner against Fiorentina coming off the bench, and Sucic should find space. On the wings, Dimarco is a candidate to return as a starter on the left, while Diouf should be confirmed on the right.

In defense, there is still a question mark: it remains to be seen whether Chivu will field the same unit seen in the last match or if he will give Bastoni a rest, with Carlos Augusto ready to replace him.
