Inter’s Chivu Confirms Sommer for Slavia, Plans Significant Rotation

Inter enter the tie on a three-match winning run.

Overview

Cristian Chivu confirmed Yann Sommer will start in goal against Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
Italian reports say Inter will rotate heavily, with up to five changes including Francesco Acerbi for Stefan de Vrij, Denzel Dumfries for Luis Henrique, Federico Dimarco for Carlos Augusto and Petar Sucic for Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Inter have won three straight in all competitions after a 2-0 victory at Cagliari, sealed by goals from Lautaro Martínez and Francesco Pio Esposito.
The league win lifted Inter to nine points from five Serie A matches, surpassing last season’s five-game tally under Simone Inzaghi.
Chivu stressed squad depth and meritocracy, saying he considers “22 starters,” while youngsters such as Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny push for minutes.
