Inter-Fiorentina without Calhanoglu, Inzaghi’s formation

Without Hakan Inzaghi must find new structures: the Croatian is called to raise the bar, the other has played very little recently but…

Hakan Calhanoglu will not be there on Saturday against Fiorentina and this was understood almost immediately at the time of the muscle injury suffered while playing for the Turkey national team. The tests he will undergo will provide further details on the diagnosis, but in any case Simone Inzaghi had already been thinking for several hours about which set-up to concoct for the Saturday advance at Giuseppe Meazza. And the solution, most likely, will be the most logical one: space for Marcelo Brozovic in the control room.

Time to engrave

The irreplaceable ex then returns to his place in the most delicate moment of the season, at the beginning of a month of April characterized by an incredible series of matches spread across three different competitions. It has already happened lately since he came back available after not very clear management of the injury, but his performances have not been impeccable or at least not sensational as was the case until last season. But now the scepter is back in his hands because the “new” director is forced to stop and Inzaghi returns to relying on him fully.

Green Line

In cascade, however, also Kristjan Asllani will see the field with more continuity: the Albanian born in 2002 has been used little or nothing in this new year, but his growing playing time was already in the air regardless of the stop in Calhanoglu. There are many matches on the horizon and Inzaghi will not be able to risk wearing out the owners: a partial turnover is expected and the former Empoli is on the list of players looking for space. The club is counting on him for the future and would like to admire his deeds more often: the conditions are there. Even more so with the Turkish player out of action or, subsequently, returning: he and Roberto Gagliardini will be called upon to contribute to the cause.
