After 79 days, Francesco Acerbi can finally return to the field: the Inter defender has been out since the end of November when he was injured at Bentegodi in the match against Verona. Today is also his 37th birthday and he could celebrate it by returning to the field with the Nerazzurri in a crucial Serie A match against Fiorentina.
As reported by Tuttosport, Inter’s head coach Simone Inzaghi is considering which lineup would be the best to field tonight at San Siro and Francesco Acerbi’s chances of a return, even from the first minute, are increasing. This could also benefit De Vrij who needs a rest. There are other potential changes that Inter’s coach is considering.
Among these, there will certainly be a replacement on the right wing as Dumfries is disqualified. Darmian seems to have an edge over Zalewski, which suggests that Inzaghi may want to keep the Polish player as a weapon for the second half a winning move in the derby. On the left, Carlos Augusto can still be the starter given the fever that has struck Dimarco, and finally there’s a matchup between Zielinski and Mkhitaryan in midfield.
