Official Starting Lineups – Inter Milan Vs Monza: Marko Arnautovic Starts | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Marko Arnautovic in attack against Monza. This evening’s Serie A matchday 28 clash kicks off at 20.45 CET.

Inter Milan take on Monza this evening in Serie A.

For the Nerazzurri the pressure on is to take three points against the team at the bottom of the table so that they can keep their place at the top of the league table.

This would in turn shift the pressure onto the likes of Napoli, Atalanta, and Juventus tomorrow.

But the Brianzoli will hardly be an easy opponent despite their dreadful form and table position. They got a point from the reverse fixture, and have proven something of a bogey team for Inter in recent seasons.

Marko Arnautovic Gets The Nod In Attack

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has made just a couple changes to the team that beat Feyenoord 2-0 in midweek.

Josep Martinez keeps his place in goal, therefore. However, Yann Sommer is back available on the bench.

Then, in defense it is the same back three that started against Feyenoord. Therefore, Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vrij, and Francesco Acerbi start.

Meanwhile, the wingback pairing of Denzel Dumfries and the out-of-position Alessandro Bastoni also start once again.

That is partly the result of an injury crisis.

All of Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski, and Federico Dimarco are unavailable. Carlos Augusto has returned from a calf knock, but is only on the bench, meanwhile.

In midfield, though, there are two changes. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu take the place of Piotr Zielinski and Kristjan Asllani.

Therefore, they complete the midfield trio alongside Nicolo Barella.

Lastly, a notable change comes in attack. Therefore, Marko Arnautovic makes his third start of the season for Inter – replacing Marcus Thuram alongside Lautaro Martinez.
