Stefan de Vrij will dislodge Francesco Acerbi from Inter Milan’s starting line-up in tonight’s Coppa Italia game against AC Milan.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Netherlands international will get the nod in defense.
Despite Acerbi’s scintillating form in 2025, Simone Inzaghi will leave the Italian veteran on the bench this evening.
On the other hand, De Vrij will return to the starting XI after losing his berth in recent matches.

In addition to De Vrij’s reinstatement, Inzaghi will change several other first-team stalwarts.
Josep Martinez will take Yann Sommer’s place in goal, days after the Swiss goalkeeper’s heroics saved Inter against Udinese.
Meanwhile, Davide Frattesi will register his second consecutive start in all competitions.
Indeed, the Italian midfielder scored against the Friulians last weekend, earning Inzaghi’s trust ahead of tonight’s fixture.
Last but not least, Lautaro Martinez is unavailable for selection.
