Inter-Manchester City: Polli up front, key for the Champions

Tonight Inter hosts Manchester City in the fourth matchday of the Women’s Champions League. The fixture is crucial for Inter, which is aiming for a piece of qualification to the next round.

The blue‑black coach David Sassarini has set up a very attacking formation, with Glionna and Bugeja placed on the edges of midfield. Beside them, Vihjalmsdottir partners Polli in an attack that can shift into a 4‑2‑3‑1 during the build‑up phase. In central areas, Milinkovic works with Tomasevic, while Van Diemen and Ivana Andres form the defensive core.

Manchester City registers the absences from the first minute of Hemp, Lohmann and former Milan player Hasegawa. Inter line‑up in a 4‑4‑2: Runarsdottir; Bartoli, Van Diemen, Ivana Andres, Robustellini; Glionna, Milinkovic, Tomasevic, Bugeja; Polli, Vihjalmsdottir. Among the available substitutes are Forcinella, Belli, Kullberg, Santi, Payne, Detruyer, Raphino, Giudici, Cambiaghi and Bressan.
