Sun Sep 15 17:47:31 UTC 2024: ## Inter Aim for Top Spot as They Rotate Squad for Monza Clash
Inter Milan are set to face Monza on Sunday evening, aiming for a win that would put them at the top of the Serie A table following Juventus’ draw against Empoli. With the Champions League opener against Manchester City and the Derby della Madonnina against Milan looming, manager Simone Inzaghi has opted to rotate his squad.
Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani are given rare starts, rewarded for their recent form with Italy and their performance in training respectively. However, star strikers Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez remain upfront, leading the line for the Nerazzurri.
Monza, meanwhile, have struggled under new coach Alessandro Nesta, earning only two points from their first three matches. Despite a positive start against Fiorentina, they ultimately drew 2-2 after a two-goal lead was relinquished.
While several key players remain sidelined for the away side, Dany Mota Carvalho and Stefano Sensi are back in the squad. This match holds particular significance for former Milan midfielder Daniel Maldini and, most importantly, goalkeeper Stefano Turati, who is a lifelong Inter supporter.
The match kicks off at the U-Power Stadium at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). Fans can follow the build-up and action live on the Serie A LIVEBLOG.
