Upon returning from Bern, there is good news for Inter: Kristjan Asllani is training together with the rest of the team. The Albanian midfielder was out due to a blow suffered in training, a blunt trauma which resulted in a slight sprain of the collateral. An unexpected event that forced Inzaghi to adapt Barella as a playmaker in front of the defense both against Roma and against Young Boys, given that Calhanoglu had raised the white flag right at the Olympic stadium, after 12 minutes of play.
The question on everyone’s mind is: who will play as a point guard for Sunday’s match against Juventus? Will Asllani be able to recover? The Albanian will carry out tests both today and tomorrow. In recent days the pain seemed like it might prevent him from making a quick recovery, but the fact that Asllani worked together with the rest of the group this morning gives rise to moderate and lucid optimism.
If Asllani is available, Inzaghi would change the midfield again, moving Barella to the usual position of right midfielder and, of course, with Mkhitaryan on the left. The eventual recovery of Asllani would finally also allow Calhanoglu to recover with greater serenity. It is crucial for the players to be in top form for Sunday’s match, and it appears that Asllani’s return to the team could be a significant boost for Inter.
