Fiorentina vs Inter Milan: Lineups and how to watch
The Viola trot out what’s probably their strongest XI to face the faltering capolista.
Probably going to need the Conference League version of Ndour for a wacky long distance banger | Tullio Puglia/UEFA via Getty Images Late news Paolo Vanoli must be delighted to have Moise Kean fit to start his first Serie A in 2 weeks. Rolando Mandragora picked up a late calf issue so Cher Ndour steps into midfield. The rest of the team is as expected.
Cristian Chivu has also gotten some big names back from injury in Denzel Dumfries and Hakan Çalhanoğlu but is missing Alessandro Bastoni, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Lautaro Martínez. That means Carlos Augusto is drafted into defense and Francesco Pio Esposito will go up front. As a reminder, Inter Milan’s fans are banned from traveling after one of them hucked a flare at Emil Audero the other day (and immediately after blew off a couple fingers, got beaten up by the other ultras, and got arrested at the hospital, completing a hat trick of startling idiocy ); combined with the Curva Fiesole’s intent to create a strong atmosphere in wake of the Viola slowly righting the ship for the 3rd or 4th time this season, the Franchi could be quite the cauldron, although the Nerazzurri faithful probably aren’t missing much considering that the stadium’s still a mess.
🏟️ Un Franchi così non s'è mai visto in questa stagione. #FiorentinaInter avrà il pubblico delle grandi occasioni per quanto possibile. La parte agibile sarà piena, più di 22mila biglietti venduti.
