Meanwhile, Sassuolo’s first victory of the season came last weekend with an impressive 1-0 victory over Lazio. Chivu has a complete team available to him for Inter.
However, his counterpart Fabio Grosso is missing out on one player from Yeferson Paz.
Inter Milan vs Sassolo – Josep Martinez makes the first start of the season
First of all, the situation surrounding Inter’s goalkeeper is an attractive situation.
Swiss keeper Jan Sommer faced criticism after Neratzluli’s 4-3 defeat to Juventus last weekend.

The interplayer did not make a single save and recognized two long distance efforts from Bianconeri.
Therefore, fans and the press called for Josep Martinez to come to the team, but Chib didn’t choose, so Somer repayed his coach’s faith with a great performance.
However, the Spaniard will finally get a chance at today’s goal as he will make his first appearance in the season.
Chivu puts Sucic back into xi and Pio Esposito puts it in front of Lautaro
Secondly, the summer signature Petar Sucic returns to today’s start 11.
The Croatian, who signed from Dynamo Zagreb in the summer, was strong in the opening two games of the season.
However, Chivu replaced Sucic with Mkhitaryan after an international break.
Nodded before Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi, the latter comes back with Sucic considering they will play a minute in the league this season.
Meanwhile, another question mark before the game was around the club’s captain Lautaro Martinez.
Argentina missed a victory over Ajax due to back pain and returned to full training yesterday.
It was then touching as to whether Chivu would risk forward his star or play safely and maintain his faith in the youth Francesco Pio Esposito.
Additionally, Esposito was impressed with his Champions League debut against Ajax and looks like a solid partner for informal Marcus Thuram.
