Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is reportedly considering multiple starting lineup changes ahead of tonight’s clash against Lecce.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, he is weighing up as many as four changes to the team that faced Napoli on Sunday.

Perhaps the most significant change could come in the final third.

Indeed, after drawing a blank in back-to-back Serie A games, Lautaro Martinez could make way for Ange-Yoan Bonny.

Therefore, an all-French attacking pair could lead the line against Lecce this evening, with Bonny set to partner up with Marcus Thuram.

With Hakan Calhanoglu injured, Petar Sucic could return to the engine room to fill the void at the expense of Piotr Zielinski.

Despite the Polish star’s impressive form, the Croatian youngster could join forces with Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

On the wing, Andy Diouf is in line for his first Serie A start, with Luis Henrique expected to drop to the bench.

Finally, Stefan de Vrij could make a rare league start this season.

Therefore, Yann Bisseck may start on the bench.
