Felipe Caicedo, substitute at Inter to face Liverpool in the Champions League

Everything pointed to a ownership of the Bosnian Edin Dzeko, but what was in doubt was who would accompany him in Inter’s attack against Liverpool this Wednesday, if the Chilean Alexis Sánchez or the Argentine Lautaro Martínez. Once the line-up of the Italian team for this afternoon’s clash (3:00 pm) at the San Siro stadium was announced, it was confirmed that Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo will start on the bench.

It will be Inter Milan’s first appearance in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 since the 2011-2012 season, a decade in which they have not made it past the group stage or played in the Europa League.

Simone Inzaghi’s men arrive at the European event in what is probably the most delicate moment of the season after having lost the derby of their city against AC Milan and the leadership of Serie A in two weeks. Despite this, Inzaghi is confident that the team, reigning Italian champions, is more than ready for a Champions League night.

Inter will take the field with the following eleven: Handanovič; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Arturo Vidal, Brozović, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Perišić; Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez.

His opportunity on the substitutes bench will await Cordaz, Radu, Gagliardini, Alexis Sánchez, Ranocchia, Dimarco, D’Ambrosio, Darmian, Sangalli, Carboni and the Ecuadorian Caicedo, who last Saturday saw from the bench the draw of his team against Naples. (D)
