Inter Milan boss Cristian Chivu is weighing adjustments to his starting lineup ahead of Saturday’s match against Cremonese.
According to Il Messaggero via FCInterNews, the 44-year-old could overhaul his starting XI compared to Tuesday’s win over Slavia Prague.
Despite posting a convincing 3-0 victory, the Nerazzurri lost star striker Marcus Thuram to a thigh injury.
Therefore, Chivu has a decision to make.
Ange-Yoan Bonny is the favorite to partner Lautaro Martinez in attack over Francesco Pio Esposito.

In addition to Bonny, Chivu could rotate his goalkeepers.
Indeed, Josep Martinez will likely return between the sticks at the expense of veteran stopper Yann Sommer.
Then, further changes may come in defense, with Stefan de Vrij and Manuel Akanji set to start.
That means Yann Bisseck and Francesco Acerbi will drop to the bench.
Furthermore, Carlos Augusto could dislodge Federico Dimarco on the left wing.
Last but not least, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will probably start ahead of Petar Sucic.
The 21-year-old made his first Champions League start for Inter on Tuesday, but he may return to the bench this weekend.
