Nothing serious for Nicolò Barella

In the joy of the large success against Lazio, at home Inter there was a hint of concern due to the exits from the field in the second half of Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco.

The next day, good news filtered out from Appiano Gentile. The midfielder is doing better, if this is the case in the next few hours too, his stop will be downgraded to simple fatigue. The outside was instead hit by cramps, for him too it seems to be just a small ailment. Both should however remain out of the starting lineup for Thursday's match against Udinese, negli round of 16 of the Italian Cup in a single match scheduled for 21pm at the Meazza stadium.

A match that Inzaghi should face with many second lines on the field. Starting from the goalkeeper Josep Martinez between the posts. So far the Spanish goalkeeper has only been used in the pre-season, subsequently he left space for Sommer who "cannibalized" the minutes available between Serie A and the Champions League.

In defense Darmian and Palacios (another debutant who has so far accumulated a handful of minutes in Serie A) should play with Bisseck as a possible central pivot. A midfield Buchanan and Carlos Augusto are asking for space on the outside, Frattesi, Asllani and Zielinski in the middle. Up front Correa, Taremi and Arnautovic are fighting for two shirts. It will therefore be a new revolution, after the many changes that have already characterised the transition from the championship to the Champions League and vice versa.

The next commitment of Serie A for Inter it will be again on Monday, as with Lazio. The opponent will be the Como, on the evening of December 23rd at 20.45pm.
