Inter Milan 2-0 Genoa – Nerazzurri Head Coach Ponders Change In Formation To Cope With Argentina Megastar’s Injury
· Yahoo Sports
Cristian Chivu may be forced into a tactical rethink for Inter Milan’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Como on Tuesday, with Ange-Yoan Bonny joining Lautaro Martinez on the injury list after picking up a calf injury during the 2-0 victory over Genoa.
According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, the concern is significant.

Lautaro is sidelined and Bonny now a doubt too.
Therefore, Inter are left with only Marcus Thuram and Pio Esposito as fully fit centre-forward options.
It is especially poignant heading into a crucial week.

To avoid overloading either player from the first minute, Chivu could switch to a 3-4-2-1 system.
Indeed, it is a formation that would allow him to deploy Esposito and Thuram in slightly deeper roles behind a single striker rather than burning through his limited resources from the off.
Tuttosport describe Inter as “a hammer” domestically this season, and the 2-0 win extended their winning run to eight consecutive Serie A victories.
The gap over AC Milan, who face Cremonese on Sunday, stands at thirteen points.
There is also a week to go until the derby, which could prove decisive.
The formation question will be one of the key subplots heading into Tuesday’s tie at Como.
Chivu has options.
However, the injury list is growing at the worst possible time.
And, therefore, his tactical flexibility may be tested more than he would like in the final stretch of the season.
