Ex Aresenal & Man United Veteran To Return To Lineup For Inter Milan Vs Lazio Serie A Clash – Iran & France Internationals Lead The Line | OneFootball

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marcus Thuram, and Mehdi Taremi will all start for Inter Milan in today’s Serie A clash with Lazio.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan take on Lazio in Serie A this evening.

The Nerazzurri will know full well that three points are absolutely necessary to keep the pressure on Napoli going into the final day of the season, and capitalize on any potential slip-ups by the league leaders.

Meanwhile, the Biancocelesti will be desperate for a result as well. They are still very much in the hunt for a Champions League spot after last Saturday’s draw with Juventus.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will undoubtedly have one eye on the Champions League final at the end of the month.

However, the Nerazzurri coach is hardly just going to rotate his squad this evening. Particularly after having had a full week of rest, it will be a strong Inter starting eleven.

The most notable name on the Inter teamsheet will be that of midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The Armenian is coming back from an injury. He picked up a thigh strain during Inter’s Champions League semifinal second leg win over Barcelona.

That injury saw Mkhitaryan miss out on last weekend’s Serie A clash with Torino.

However, reports the Gazzetta, Mkhitaryan has returned to fitness.

Moreover, the former Arsenal and Manchester United midfielder’s return has been swifter than expected.

Therefore, Mkhitaryan will start this evening’s match, reports the Gazzetta.

Initially it had seemed probable that Piotr Zielinski would be in the Inter starting eleven. However, the Gazzetta anticipate, Mkhitaryan will slot straight back into the team.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta reports, Mehdi Taremi will keep his place in the starting eleven.
