Darmian Could Replace Henrique Against Bodo/Glimt

Veteran defender Matteo Darmian could return to Inter Milan's starting lineup in tonight's crucial Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt, potentially replacing Luis Henrique on the right wing.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, head coach Cristian Chivu is considering several lineup tweaks for this 'make or break' European showdown. Inter must overturn a two-goal deficit to reach the Round of 16 following their 3-1 defeat in the first leg.

Darmian excelled in his only competitive start of the season at Aspmyra Stadion last week, coming close to scoring with a thunderous half-volley that hit the woodwork. However, Luis Henrique started in Serie A against Lecce, though he may now drop to the bench for the crucial Champions League encounter.
