Lautaro Martinez is considered the favourite over Mehdi Taremi to start for Inter Milan in today’s Serie A away game at Monza.

This is stated in today’s print edition of the Turin newspaper Tuttosport, about FCInterNews.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will be thinking about how to align the squad rotation with the upcoming games and field a strong line-up against Monza tonight.

In their next two games, the Nerazzurri will face Manchester City in the Champions League and AC Milan in Serie A.

For this reason, Inzaghi will certainly be careful to give his key players a rest.

However, the Inter coach will not field a team that he does not believe can get three points.

In attack, this means that Marcus Thuram will be in the starting line-up, reports Tuttosport.

The Frenchman is arguably Inter’s best player this season, having already scored four goals in just three games.

And Thuram will have the chance to score more goals right from the start tonight.

Lautaro is favourite over Taremi to start for Inter against Monza

As for the striker who will be Thuram’s attacking partner, Inzaghi has been pondering his decision in recent days.

The Inter coach was reportedly inclined to give the captain a break Lautaro Martinez.

Martinez is certainly a key player for the Nerazzurri, so Inzaghi is naturally not willing to take any risks with his fitness and freshness ahead of the games against City and Milan.

Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic were candidates for the starting eleven.

Not long ago, Taremi seemed to be the most likely starter.

According to Tuttosport, the Iranian international is not yet in top physical shape.

Therefore, it is becoming increasingly likely that Martinez will be awarded the contract instead.

The Inter captain will be hoping to score his first goal of the season in Serie A. He was the league’s top scorer in the last game, but he is yet to score this season.
