Inzaghi and the training doubts for Salernitana. A little turnover is needed, Lautaro crossroads

Normal training sessions give little indication, let alone a session in which those who played the derby limited themselves to unloading. At Inter the day after a first leg semi-final of the Cup that is more perplexing for the performance than for the result it flows in apparent normality.

The team against Salernitana on Friday evening (referee Livio Marinelli) is currently on the high seas. With the paradox that Inzaghi has all the squad available, but several elements with the tank in reserve. The coach, who will only speak to the team before tomorrow’s finish, will take all the time to evaluate every detail until after Friday morning practice.

Nice dilemma

–

The doubt in words is simple: is it better to insist on the big names who are down and would need to unblock themselves (Lautaro above all) or to field fresh forces to reconnect the current? If the team hadn’t been engulfed, losing points and confidence, the match against Nicola’s team – squeezed between Milan and Liverpool – would have been ideal for several starters to rest. Now, on the other hand, the match against Salernitana becomes the most important match of the year. But there are only two days to prepare him, while before Anfield’s impossible challenge there will be no shortage of time.

Those two

–

Logica would therefore like the rotations to be reduced to the minimum wage for the advance of the championship. Correa and Gosens would be needed on the ball, but yesterday the two re-tasted the field after long absences. The Tucu had been out since mid-December, the German even since the end of September. It is therefore unlikely that they will be able to play from the start on Friday, but during the race they will be more than useful. Also because Perisic and Lautaro, the team-mates they should replace, looked good in the derby. Even Barella is no longer him, but he will already miss Liverpool through suspension. Stopping Brozovic is also unthinkable, while Calhanoglu remains important even on the set to return to the blessed goal that has been missing for 403 interminable minutes.

One per department

–

As he did on other occasions against the small and medium-sized ones, Inzaghi could therefore make a change for each department. Skriniar had rested in Genoa, Bastoni was stopped for two rounds due to disqualification, so it cannot be excluded that Ranocchia will take the place of De Vrij to engage in a high-altitude duel with Djuric. Darmian could make Dumfries catch his breath, while the games are very open in attack. If Correa didn’t risk it, Inzaghi would have to leaf through the usual three petals. The almost 36-year-old Dzeko played all of them from the 1st minute, except for half of the match with Sassuolo. Sanchez is a candidate but he too hasn’t rubbed the lamp for some time. Lautaro is becoming a case. He had never been without scoring for 8 league games. But it is also true that – without considering the penalty against Juve in the Super Cup on January 12 – the last goal from an open play came precisely against Salernitana, on December 17 last.
