Inter Restore Acerbi, Leave Thuram on Bench for Lazio Visit
Chivu calls for a sharper display after narrow recent wins against an in-form opponent.
Overview
- Chivu confirmed to DAZN that Francesco Acerbi returns to the starting XI after three games out, with Marcus Thuram again on the bench following a recent calf issue.
- Multiple outlets report Inter are set to reunite a back three with Acerbi flanked by Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni.
- Petar Sucic is tipped to start in midfield with Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella, with Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco expected as wing-backs.
- With Thuram not starting, local reporting indicates Ange-Yoan Bonny is likely to partner Lautaro Martinez, after Chivu left the final call to the last training session.
- Lazio arrive unbeaten in six with four straight clean sheets, and a win tonight could take Inter joint top after Napoli lost and AC Milan drew.
