DBasia.news – Misadventure many times. That’s the quote to portray the feeling of FC Internazionale coach, Luciano Spaletti. Now, his performance in I Nerazzurri is under highlight.
No wonder, Inter just got their second loss in 2018-2019 Serie A after the defeat by promotion team, Parma, at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Saturday (15/9).
Spalletti is getting more worried because ahead of the match against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League, Tuesday (18/9), he lost two wing defenders: Sime Vrsaljko and Danilo D’Ambrosio. No wonder, the defense is in crisis in playing against Harry Kane and friends.
Vrsaljko absent due to a knee injury during the match against Croatia. While D’Ambrosio walked hardly during Inter’s defeat against Parma. Spalletti confirmed Vrsjalko will pass the match against Tottenham, while D’Ambrosio condition is still uncertain.

“Sime won’t be there on Tuesday either, as he has a problem, although you’d have to ask the medic for a more precise diagnosis.”
“D’Ambrosio is unlikely to recover in time and we need to evaluate his condition. D’Ambrosio’s absence is creating a problem, as Kwadwo Asamoah is now the only full-back we’ve got available for Tottenham,” Spalletti revealed.
It’s reasonable for Spalletti to be a little stressed out. One of the wing defenders of the team, Dalbert Henrique didn’t list in the Champions League squad. As concerned, under the observation of Financial Fair Play, Inter must lessen their squad for the Champions League.
Practically there would be only Asamoah, the remaining wing defender. Spalletti has to reshuffle the defensive line for the upcoming match against Tottenham. He said there would be an option to send the central defender, Milan Skriniar, as the right defender.
“Against Spurs, we could see Milan Skriniar as a right-back, as he’s got the capabilities. Another option would be to go three at the back with Joao Miranda,” Spalletti said.
