Simone Inzaghi postpones the squad rotation in the duel between Empoli and Inter Serie A

Simone Inzaghi is likely to stick with his best starting XI when Inter Milan take on Empoli in a high-risk clash in Tuscany on Wednesday.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by FCInterNewsNumerous injury setbacks will force Inzaghi to retire later this evening.

After a frustrating 4-4 ​​draw against Juventus at the weekend, Inter need to pick up three points against Empoli.

In fact, early leaders Napoli beat AC Milan 2-0 last night to extend their lead at the top of Serie A to seven points.

With Antonio Conte's side showing no signs of slowing down, Inter will need to start a winning streak to keep up the pace.

However, they have to deal with a growing injury crisis.

Simone Inzaghi You can't count on several first-team stars for today's trip to the Stadio Carlo Castellani.

In addition to the long-term absentee Tajon Buchanan, Francesco Acerbi and Hakan Calhanoglu are also unavailable.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri boss is struggling with selection problems.

Why Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is postponing squad rotation in the Serie A duel against Empoli

Inzaghi's first thought was to replace the Turkish midfielder with Kristjan Asllani.

But the Albanian is still recovering from a muscular problem.

Piotr Zielinski therefore retains his place in the starting eleven this evening.

However, Asllani could start against Venezia at the weekend.

As Inzaghi waits for Calhanoglu to overcome his hamstring injury, he remains out of options in the engine room.

It will likely put more pressure on Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The former struggled with a persistent ankle problem at the start of the season.

The Armenian is now 35 years old. Despite his admirable physical condition, it is difficult to expect him to be able to handle such a heavy workload.

Therefore, it is time for Zielinski and Asllani to step up.

Before Zielinski scored a first-half double in his first Serie A start for Inter last weekend, he had been largely on the sidelines.

The same applies to Asllani, who has only started one league game this season.
