Inzaghi Plots Big Changes To Starting XI For Inter Milan Vs Lazio Coppa Italia Clash – Full Debut For Poland Star | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi is ready to make big changes to the Inter Milan starting eleven against Lazio, with Nicola Zalewski to make his full debut.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the coach will rotate the squad mindful of next weekend’s clash with Napoli.

Inter Milan take on Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals tomorrow.

The Nerazzurri were only just in action a couple days ago. They beat Genoa 1-0 in Serie A on Saturday evening.

However, it is the point in the season when the fixtures really start to pile up.

Moreover, Inter also face Napoli in a top-of-the-table Serie A showdown next weekend.

Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will have to be careful about not overusing players with so many matches on the way.
