Inter-Como, Chivu backs the English pair: Esposito nears a starting spot

Inter are preparing for Sunday’s 8 November match against Como, scheduled for 6 p.m., with some indications already emerging regarding Cristian Chivu’s choices. The Nerazzurri coach appears ready to trust the two English wide players, while Esposito is increasingly likely to feature in attack. The lineup, however, has not yet been completely settled.

The main question concerns midfield, where a selection battle remains open. Managing the wide areas is one of the most interesting aspects of the build-up: Chivu is assessing their ability to push forward and contribute in both phases, with the aim of giving the team greater width. Esposito, meanwhile, could receive another starting opportunity in a match arriving after a demanding run of fixtures.

Inter go into the game after beating Venezia 2-0, losing the derby 3-1 to Milan and recording a convincing 3-0 Champions League victory away to Feyenoord. The meeting with Como is the Nerazzurri’s next official fixture; it will be followed by the away match against Atalanta on 22 November and the European clash with Stuttgart on 25 November.
