Hakan Calhanoglu and Juan Cuadrado will not be available for Real Sociedad-Inter, first match of the Champions League group. The Turkish midfielder will miss the Basque trip due to a fatigue in the adductor of the left thighwhile the Colombian was knocked out by one tendon inflammation. Mkhitaryan should play as a director in Calhanoglu’s place, with Frattesi and Barella on either side of him. Cuadrado, however, would have sat on the bench at least initially. Optimism filters through from the medical staff for both and their recovery for the away match in Empoli cannot be ruled out.

After the many psycho-physical energies expended in the derby, Inzaghi already had a reasoned mini-turnover in mind. There are four new signings on the launch pad, ready to make their debut from the 1st minute: Pavard, Carlos Augusto, Arnautovic and Frattesi. But if for the first the Champions League stage is more known than ever (it could make the always reliable Darmian take a breather), the situation is different for the other two. Especially for the former Monza player, who Inzaghi intends to field to give Dimarco, tired after the derby, a rest. Arnautovic, on the other hand, who was in Inter’s squad for the Treble, is seriously competing for a shirt from Thuram, who appeared in form to say the least in last Saturday’s derby. The Turk’s injury thus opens the doors for Frattesi, given that Inzaghi is forced to give up the Barella-Calhanoglu-Mkhitaryan trio for the first time in the season. The Armenian will be lowered with directing duties with the former Cagliari and former Sassuolo players at his sides. Klaassen and Asllani are also on the bench.
