Inter Milan will field 29‑year‑old Nicolo Barella as a deep‑lying playmaker in their UEFA Champions League clash with Bodo/Glimt. Barella replaces the injured Hakan Calhanoglu, who is sidelined with a long‑term muscle problem.
Barella returned last weekend against Juventus after a brief layoff from a minor knee injury, but was sent off with a yellow card in the second half. He will not be available for Inter’s next Serie A match against Lecce, and the coach plans to give Piotr Zielinski some rest.
