Fiorentina midfielder, Christ Inao Oulai, showed a slight physical problem during the team's finishing training, according to communications from coach Paolo Vanoli. The athlete is not yet at 100% of his capabilities, but has been recovered to be placed on the bench for the match against Inter. The decision was made to ensure that Oulai can face the match with maximum safety and without risk of injury.
In the context of the match, Inter opted for a 3‑5‑2 with Cristian Chivu as coach. The opening lineup features Provedel in goal, Bisseck, Akanji and Bastoni in defense, while Diouf, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan and Carlos Augusto make up the midfield. In attack, Thuram and Esposito complete the team. On the bench, Chivu left J. Martinez, Di Gennaro, Stankovic, Zielinski, Sucic, Bonny, Dimarco, Bovio, Mosconi, Jakirovic, Lavelli and Spence available.
Fiorentina, however, chose a 4‑3‑3 with De Gea in goal, Jimenez, Dragusin, Pongracic and Valdepenas in defence. The midfield is made up of Ndour, Fagioli and Brescianini, while Mastantuono, Pellegrino and Njie are in attack. On the bench, Vanoli left Lezzerini, Christensen, Dodô, Joao Mario, Beto, Pedro Gonçalves, Gnonto, Viery, Inao Oulai, Mazzeo, Pirrò and Ademi available.
Oulai's injury, although minor, was managed with caution by the coach, who preferred to place him on the bench to avoid any complications. The midfielder, in fact, was recovered for the match, but was not included on the pitch. Vanoli's team therefore decided to keep his presence on the bench, with the hope that his physical condition will improve before the start of the match.
With these choices, both teams prepare for a match of great importance for the Serie A standings. Inter, with their solid defense and dynamic midfield, aims to consolidate their leading position, while Fiorentina tries to recover crucial points for their title race. The final result will depend on the performances of key players and the management of any injuries that may emerge during the match.
