Inter Milan Aim for Dominant Victory Against Cagliari Despite Absence of Key Players

Inter Milan is gearing up to face Cagliari in a crucial Serie A clash, with the hosts aiming to secure another victory despite the absence of key players. The match, set to kick off at 19:45 UK time, will see Inter without the services of suspended Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard.

Inter manager Claudio Ranieri is contemplating whether to field Marko Arnautovic or Alexis Sanchez to replace the suspended Martinez in the lineup. The team is determined to maintain their winning momentum as they push towards securing the Serie A title.

The Nerazzurri are expected to line up with Alessandro Bastoni returning from injury to join Francesco Acerbi and Yann Aurel Bisseck in defense. Matteo Darmian is favored to start as a right midfielder, while Arnautovic could feature upfront alongside Marcus Thuram in the attacking line.

On the other hand, Cagliari heads into the match without key players such as Nahitan Nandez, Alessandro Deiola, Andrea Petagna, Leonardo Pavoletti, and Marco Mancosu due to suspension and injury. Loanee Gaetano Oristanio is expected to lead the Sardinians’ attack, supported by Gianluca Gaetano and Eldor Shomurodov.

Both teams are anticipating a competitive encounter at the San Siro, with Inter looking to assert their dominance despite the challenges posed by absent players. The fans can expect an intense battle as Cagliari aims to disrupt Inter’s quest for victory in the Serie A clash.
