A unique environment
José Mourinho will have to solve a puzzle which he would undoubtedly have done well without against Inter Milan, tomorrow in the Champions League. Indeed, as pointed out A.S.it’s a real labyrinth in midfield with a good number of absentees. And for good reason, Arda Güler, Eduardo Camavinga and Bernardo Silva are all three suspended. Add to that the injuries to Aurélien Tchouaméni and Thiago Pitarch, and there is not much solution left for the Special One, who could exceptionally make a change of device. Thus the full-back Trent Alexander Arnold, but also the central defender Dean Huijsen are cited as potential midfielders for this meeting alongside Federico Valverde.
