Inter vs Genoa: Barella, Akanji, Thuram Start for Redemption

Nicolo Barella, Manuel Akanji, and Marcus Thuram are expected to start for Inter Milan against Genoa after being identified as the most disappointing performers in the Champions League exit.

Barella enters a competitive midfield battle with Mkhitaryan, Sucic, and Frattesi for a place alongside Zielinski, while Akanji could shift to the right side of the back three.

Thuram holds the advantage for the second striking berth. Chivu aims to bounce back from the Bodo/Glimt elimination and consolidate Inter's lead at the top of Serie A.
