Inter Milan will face Atalanta in a high-stakes Serie A match at San Siro on Saturday, seeking redemption for yesterday’s Derby della Madonnina loss.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Inter’s underperforming frontline will be under the microscope next weekend.
Cristian Chivu suffered another defeat in a high-profile league game last night.
Indeed, AC Milan grabbed a tight 1-0 victory to rekindle their slim title hopes, with seven points now separating the leading Serie A duo.
Meanwhile, without the likes of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, Inter failed to get on the scoresheet in a second consecutive match.
After drawing a blank in a 0-0 draw against Como on Tuesday, the Nerazzurri generated a dismal 0.53 xG on Sunday evening.
Inter Milan Misfiring Attack to Be Under Heavy Scrutiny vs Atalanta
While Saturday’s clash against Atalanta will come too soon for El Toro, Thuram should be at Chivu’s disposal.
Indeed, the Frenchman had to skip yesterday’s fixture due to a flu. However, he’s expected to recover in time for La Dea’s visit next weekend.
Meanwhile, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito failed to impress against Milan, meaning one of them could make way for Thuram.
Despite boasting the best scoring record in Serie A, Inter must prove that they can perform without Lautaro.
