Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to use Davide Frattesi in midfield and Yann Bisseck in defense against Udinese. The duel on matchday four of Serie A begins this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. CET.

Inter are looking to bounce back from last weekend’s derby defeat against AC Milan.

The Nerazzurri have had a week to reflect on last Sunday’s defeat. Furthermore, they had no European game to disrupt their preparations.

Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has the chance to name more or less a first starting eleven after the team has had plenty of rest.

The Nerazzurri coach doesn’t think too much about squad rotation.

But that doesn’t mean Inzaghi hasn’t changed the team.

Frattesi starts in midfield, Barella is missing

Firstly, an injury in midfield forced Inzaghi into action.

Midfielder Nicolo Barella is missing due to a thigh strain he sustained in the derby. Therefore, Barella’s Italian compatriot Frattesi starts in his place.

Then Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanogu complete the midfield trio.

Meanwhile, there is another change in defense.

Benjamin Pavard has not yet found his best form this season. Therefore, the German U21 international Yann Bisseck has the chance to be in the starting eleven.

Then it is Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni who complete Inter’s back three.

Meanwhile, Yann Sommer retains his starting place in goal.

And there is another change on the wings. Former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian takes his place Denzel Dumfries at right wing-back.

However, Federico Dimarco keeps his place on the left wing.

In the attack, Inzaghi has called up captain Lautaro Martinez and French international Marcus Thuram.

In addition to Barella being out, Inter is also missing another injury: Canadian international Tajon Buchanan continues to recover from a broken leg.
