Inter Milan Mull Over Midfield Selection Ahead of Napoli Clash

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is deliberating over his midfield options as his side gears up to face Napoli in Serie A.

Inzaghi is expected to field a competitive lineup against the reigning Italian champions, Napoli, who despite their inconsistent form remain a formidable opponent.

The 35-year-old Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who played a significant role in the midweek clash against Atletico Madrid, may retain his spot in the midfield trio for the Nerazzurri.

Speculations suggested that Davide Frattesi could replace Mkhitaryan after the Armenian appeared fatigued during the Champions League fixture.

Frattesi, a former Sassuolo midfielder, offers fresh legs and energy in the midfield, making him a feasible option for Inzaghi.

The decision on who starts in midfield remains crucial for Inter Milan, with Inzaghi keen on avoiding any residual fatigue from the grueling Champions League match.

Inter Milan are poised to field a strong lineup against Napoli, balancing the need for rotation with the objective of securing a vital victory.

The Italian sports daily, Corriere dello Sport, reported that Mkhitaryan is currently favored to retain his midfield role, potentially edging out Frattesi for the starting position.
