“We miss some players, unfortunately all in the same sector, and the loss of Dimarco makes it more of an emergency,” Inzaghi told Amazon Prime Video Italia.

“I am confident that we will still have a great performance because we deserve to be here in the last 16 of the Champions League. It's not an easy moment, but we're ready.”

There were suggestions to change the system, but instead Trusts Bastoni who work in this new role.

“Bastoni will play a little wider than usual, then there will be a few moments when we defend with four in the back.”
