Empoli-Inter, Mkhitaryan unavailable for Inzaghi: training

Simone Inzaghi finds Hakan Calhanoglu again from the first minute, but in the meantime he loses another midfielder: Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not be part of the away game in Empoli and will be available again for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia. The Armenian midfielder is not among the Inter squad due to personal reasons, he will not leave for Tuscany in the afternoon and the coach will therefore have to redesign the midfield without him. With the return of the Turk to the starting lineup after the last two moments as substitute, Marcelo Brozovic should also be there, while Nicolò Barella could rest: in this case, Roberto Gagliardini would take the field from the start in the right midfield position.

A partial turnover will also take place in other departments: the first reason is that the 3-3 draw with Benfica has drained physical energy, the second is that the second leg of the Coppa Italia against Juventus is on the horizon. Robin Gosens will return to the left and Romelu Lukaku in attack, while Danilo D’Ambrosio is a candidate for a defense shirt, probably in place of Matteo Darmian. All-Argentine forward runoff between Joaquin Correa and Lautaro Martinez, Edin Dzeko seems destined for the bench like Federico Dimarco.
