In his second match in charge, Intercoach Christianchib made four changes.
But there’s no surprise at the goal. Yang Somer takes up the usual starting point.
In defense, Stefan de Vrigi, along with Carlos Augusto and Matteo Dalmian, replace Francesco Aserbi, who is in the middle of the back three.
Lewis Henrique is starting for the first time
Meanwhile, the most notable name on the team sheet is Lewis Henriquet.
The Brazilian wingback had already been off the bench to face Monterrey. But tonight he made his first start at the Inter after joining from Marseille earlier this month.
Next, in the middle, Nicolo Barrera and Chrisjan Aslani defend the inter location.
However, Henrikh Mkhitaryan falls to the bench.
Sebastiano Esposito & Nicola Zalewski starts behind Lautaro Martinez
Meanwhile, on the left, Federico DiMarco begins.
Intercoach Chib then switched to the 3-4-2-1 formation. So there are two offensive midfielders playing behind Lautaro Martinez rather than a strike partnership.
The two players adjacent to the Intercaptain are Sebasciano Esposito and Nicola Zarewski.
Meanwhile, when it comes to injuries, Inter is free from Jan Bisek, Benjamin Pavado, Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Karhanoglu, Davide Frattesi, Piotr Zielinski and Marcus Tulam.
Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi remains in Iran’s home country. The 32-year-old was unable to travel to the United States as Iranian airspace was closed amid escalating conflict with Israel.
