According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chivu is preparing to reinstate several players who were on the bench for all or part of the match against Parma.

Between Internazionale's match against Parma and their Champions League match against Club Brugge, Chivu is expected to make several changes to the starting lineup. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed this morning: Lautaro Martinez will return to the front line, and Barella and Zielinski will return to midfield, according to the report. Sucic and Mkhitaryan are expected to drop out, with Calhanoglu continuing as the central playmaker.

There will also be adjustments in defence, with Bastoni returning to the starting lineup. The same applies to Akanji, who played the full 90 minutes for the Swiss national team in the UEFA Nations League and appears to be in good form, as Switzerland won all their matches. By contrast, he has had several underwhelming performances for Internazionale at the start of the season.
