Substitutions already planned amidst busy schedule against Cagliari

Simone Inzaghi’s strategy for this afternoon’s match amid the two Champions League fixtures.

Careful energy management will be crucial for Inter Milan. In just a few days, several key matches across different competitions await — ones that will define the value of Inter Milan's season finale, meaning mistakes must be avoided at all costs. 

As reported by Corriere della Sera via Fcinter1908.it:

"Everything is relative, except for the fatigue left behind by certain nights. But unlike the Parma match — which was the third in a six-day mini cycle that included the Coppa Italia semifinal — this one against Cagliari falls right in the middle of an eight-day whirlwind between the first and second leg of the Champions League tie. 

These may seem like details, but the chances of seeing fresher legs on the San Siro pitch are higher. 

In fact, there could be 6 or 7 changes from the starting in Munich, with only Sommer, Bastoni, Barella, and Lautaro pulling double duty. 

A warning to those who underestimate the risks of managing energy and preventing injuries: apart from the goalkeeper, the other three are expected to come off early, as will Dimarco, who will use the match as a warm-up for Wednesday. 

And after watching Carlos Augusto’s excellent performance from the bench in Munich, he knows he’ll need to raise his game."
