Inter Implements Major Changes Ahead of Verona Match

MILAN, Italy — Inter Milan is set to make significant changes to its lineup for the Serie A match against Hellas Verona tonight, May 3. Head coach Simone Inzaghi has decided on a complete overhaul, likely changing 10 out of 11 starters due to the upcoming Champions League semifinal.

Following a tactical retreat last night, Inzaghi aims to rest key players ahead of the critical match against Barcelona. Goalkeeper Andrej Sommer will sit this one out, allowing Josep Martinez to step in. This adjustment is one of the many intended to conserve energy for the crucial European clash.

Only Yann Bisseck is expected to retain his position from the previous game after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Barcelona. Joining Bisseck in defense will be Stefan de Vrij and Carlos Augusto. Meanwhile, the midfield will see a complete transformation, with Matteo Darmian and Nicola Zalewski replacing the regular starters.

In the center, Kristjan Asllani will take on a playmaking role for the suspended Hakan Calhanoglu, accompanied by Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski. Up front, with Lautaro Martinez injured and Rasmus Hojlund being cautiously utilized, the attacking duo will likely consist of Marco Arnautovic and Correa.

This significant turnover aims to inject fresh energy into the squad, as Inter looks to carry the momentum of their European performances into the domestic league.

Before the match, fans are hopeful for positive developments concerning injuries and fitness levels among the players, as their hopes for an Italian title chase remain uncertain.
