Carlos Augusto and Davide Frattesi tipped for start against Roma as Inter coach Simone Inzaghi fills void caused by suspension crisis

With the Nerazzurri set to face Roma in a pivotal match in match-week 34 that could certainly alter the course of the title race, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is set to shuffle his deck ahead of the clash at the Stadio San Siro.

Following the 3-0 defeat to Milan in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia during the mid-week, La Gazzetta dello Sportย indicates that Yann Sommer is set to return as the starting custodian over former Geona keeper Josep Martinez after having been granted a day of grace.

In addition, central defenders Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbi return to the starting XI within the back three, having been selected as the preferred candidates over Stefan De Vrij and Yann Aurel Bisseck.

With Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both unavailable to feature in the match due to having been given a suspension as a result of accumulating too many yellows within the Beneamataโ€™s trip to the Stadio Dallโ€™Arra against Bologna, Carlos Augusto is set to slot in as the left central defender, whilst former Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattessi will start in the three-man midfield.ย 

Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco are set to cover the flanks, with Hakan Calhanoglu starting as the well-renowned โ€œregistaโ€ alongside Nicolo Barella, forcing Albanian youngster Kristjan Asllani to start from the bench.

Former West Ham and Bologna veteran Marko Arnautovic is to be deployed alongside skipper Lautaro Martinez up-top, following the recent disappointing displays of Joaquin Correa and Mehdi Taremi in the front-line.
