Inter are set to rotate for tonight’s Supercoppa clash against Bologna, with Gazzetta dello Sport predicting a front two of Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram.
One of the first alterations should come in goal, where Josep Martinez is expected to start ahead of Yann Sommer.
According to the Italian daily, the move would offer the goalkeeper “a bit of normality amid the emotional and legal storm of recent months,” giving him continuity at a delicate moment.
The main focus, however, is on the attack.
Bologna Vs Inter – Chivu Ready To Try Thuram & Bonny In Attack

During recent tactical tests, Cristian Chivu reportedly split his forward pairings.
Indeed, working with Thuram and Bonny on one side and Lautaro Martinez alongside Pio Esposito on the other.
Gazzetta adds that the likelihood of a French partnership from the first minute is high.
The former Parma striker is seen as the most likely forward to start.
Indeed with Marcus Thuram “slightly ahead in the battle” with the Inter captain to partner him.
Any such decision would reflect Chivu’s rotation policy rather than a change in hierarchy.
The coach has repeatedly stressed the interchangeability of his attacking options.
Elsewhere, Matteo Darmian will not be risked, while Carlos Augusto remains sidelined with a lower back problem, though he could still make the squad.
In defence, Stefan de Vrij is also pushing to start as Inter consider managing Manuel Akanji’s workload.
