Chivu weighs a surprise midfield move for Inter Milan in Dortmund

Frattesi could start as Inter Milan chase crucial Champions League points

Cristian Chivu is considering a surprise tactical move for Inter Milan ahead of tonight’s crucial clash at Signal Iduna Park against Borussia Dortmund. 

With three vital points on the line and direct qualification for the Champions League round of 16 still within reach, every decision carries significant weight.

According to Sky Sport via Fcinter1908, the Inter Milan coach is carefully evaluating his midfield options as he looks to replace Nicolò Barella, who remained in Milan due to muscle fatigue. 

The absence of such a key figure has opened the door to alternative solutions, and one name is gaining momentum.

Frattesi pushing for a starting role in Inter Milan’s midfield

Davide Frattesi is emerging as a strong candidate to start on the right side of midfield. The Italian international, eager for more playing time this season, could be handed a valuable opportunity on a demanding European stage.

Overall, three players are competing for two midfield spots. On the left side, Henrikh Mkhitaryan appears to be the favorite, bringing experience and balance. 

On the opposite flank, the contest is between Frattesi and Sucic, with the former currently edging ahead in the race.

Chivu has not yet made a final decision, and the coach is expected to choose his starting lineup only in the final hours before kick-off. 

Still, the current indications suggest Frattesi is leaning toward a starting berth, potentially becoming one of Inter Milan’s key figures in a night that could define their Champions League journey.
