Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito will be under the spotlight in tonight’s meeting between Royale Union SG and Inter Milan.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Inter’s ‘wonder boys’ will start together in a competitive game for the first time.

Manager Cristian Chivu cannot call upon Marcus Thuram for Inter’s third Champions League outing this season.

Indeed, the Frenchman remains on the sidelines with a thigh injury and could even miss Saturday’s trip to Naples.

Furthermore, Chivu is keen to keep Lautaro Martinez fresh for the upcoming Serie A showdown against Napoli.

Thuram has been decisive for Inter in the Champions League this term.

Indeed, the 28-year-old scored a match-winning brace against Ajax before adding to his tally against Slavia Prague.

Therefore, filling his shoes is no small feat.

However, Bonny has been up to the task in Serie A, netting in both league starts for the Nerazzurri so far.

Meanwhile, Esposito has not been as prolific as the French striker.

Yet, his overall performances have been nothing short of inspiring.
