Luis Henrique is poised to make his return to the starting lineup for Inter Milan as they prepare to face Atletico Madrid in a crucial Champions League match tonight. Cristian Chivu, the head coach, is reportedly ready to give the Brazilian winger a chance to showcase his abilities after a challenging start to his tenure at the club.
Since his transfer from Marseille for €23 million in June, Luis Henrique has struggled to find his rhythm at Inter Milan. His performances have not lived up to expectations, leading to concerns about his long-term prospects at the club. As a result, he has fallen down the selection order due to a series of underwhelming displays.
With the recent injuries to key players Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian, Henrique’s opportunity comes at a critical juncture. This match against Atletico Madrid represents a chance for him to regain Chivu’s confidence after being previously overlooked in favor of other players, including Carlos Augusto, who disappointed during the Milan derby.
Additionally, with Marcus Thuram likely sidelined, Francesco Pio Esposito is expected to step in to bolster the attack. The pressure is on Henrique to seize this moment and prove his worth to the squad. A strong performance could not only reignite his career at Inter Milan but also significantly impact the team’s progression in the Champions League. Fans will be watching closely to see if he can turn his fortunes around and contribute to a vital victory in this high-stakes encounter.
