Inter Milan prepares squad rotations for Udinese match

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu is preparing his squad for an upcoming Serie A match against Udinese, focusing on tactical rotations and player management following recent Champions League fixtures.

Chivu addressed the team's recent performance in Madrid, noting that while the squad felt some bitterness over a missed opportunity, they remain focused on long-term growth. He expressed support for reduced VAR usage to maintain game intensity and rhythm.

Regarding squad availability, Federico Dimarco has returned to training after a knee injury, while Djed Spence remains in a physical recovery process. Chivu is also managing Hakan Calhanoglu's workload to ensure full recovery.

Tactical changes are expected, with John Stones potentially making his first start in defense. The attacking lineup remains a point of debate, with potential rotations involving Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito, and Ange-Yoan Bonny. In midfield, rotations may involve Piotr Zielinski and Luis Henrique to manage fatigue.
