Inter Milan's Four-Change Blitz to Beat Genoa
Inter's refreshed lineup eyes a top spot as Genoa hosts them at Luigi Ferraris.

Inter's Updated XI for Genoa

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Kivo announced the starting lineup for the visit to Genoa at Luigi Ferraris, in Serie A round 15.

Kivo made several changes, starting with Piotr Zielinski in place of the Turkish Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who misses the match due to injury.

Biù Espozito started in place of Toram, Susic in place of Mkhitaryan, and Augusto in place of Di Marco.

Luis Enrique keeps his place in the starting XI for the fifth consecutive game.

Inter's lineup: Somir, Besik, Akanji, Bastoni, Luis Enrique, Barella, Zielinski, Susic, Augusto, Lautaro, Biù Espozito.

Genoa's starting XI: Liali, Marcandali, Outua, Vasquez, Norton Kafi, Frindrob, Malinovski, Ellertson, Martin, Vitennia, Columbo.

Inter will have a clear chance to top Serie A if they win, especially after Milan's draw with Sassuolo and Napoli's loss to Udinese.

Punchlines: Inter’s bench looks ready to assemble a furniture set twice as fast as Genoa could defend it. And if Genoa scores, the stadium might suffer a buffering moment before the celebration.
