Official Starting Lineups – Fiorentina Vs Inter Milan Serie A Derby: Davide Frattesi, Yann Bisseck & Carlos Augusto Start

Originally posted on SempreInter.com | By Toni Weeler | Last updated Feb 6, 2025 1:47 PM ET

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Davide Frattesi in midfield against Fiorentina. This evening’s Serie A matchday 23 clash kicks off at 20.45 CET.

Inter take on Fiorentina in Serie A this evening.

The match will be a bit of an unusual one, however.

Fiorentina and Inter kicked off a Serie A match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at the start of December.

However, that match was temporarily abandoned due to a shock medical emergency for Viola midfielder Edoardo Bove.

But the two teams will finally play out the rest of the match today.

Firstly, that means that the match will begin at the time the fixture in December abruptly ended. Therefore, the time on the clock will be seventeen minutes.

Furthermore, players who signed in January cannot play any part, either from the start or as substitutes.

Therefore, there are no January signings in either Inter’s or Fiorentina’s squad. Wingback Nicola Zalewski misses out for the Nerazzurri, accordingly.

On the other hand, players who were injured in the December match but registered for their respective teams are available.

Therefore, Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto are in the Inter squad.

Davide Frattesi Starts In Midfield – Augusto & Bisseck Also Start

As far as Inter’s starting eleven, firstly it is Yann Sommer in goal as always. Therefore, he keeps up his record of starting every Serie A match this season.

Then, in defense, Yann Bisseck takes the place of Benjamin Pavard from the derby against AC Milan.

The German completes the back three alongside Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni.

In midfield, meanwhile, there is another notable change to the eleven. Davide Frattesi takes the place of Nicolo Barella.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu keep their places from the derby.

Then on the left flank, Carlos Augusto gets the nod ahead of Federico Dimarco. And at right-wingback, meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries starts.

Lastly, in attack it is the usual starting duo of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram for the Nerazzurri.
