Inter boss Cristian Kievo may bench Sommer for Martinez against Ajax

Inter Milan manager Cristian Kievo contemplates a significant goalkeeper change before the Champions League clash with Ajax. Swiss keeper Jan Sommer faces potential exclusion after his poor showing against Juventus, where he allowed four goals from four attempts on target. Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez appears poised to receive his opportunity as Kievo demonstrates no player remains immune from tactical adjustments. The coach previously benched key players like Dimarco while substituting Lautaro Martinez and Barella during recent matches.

The Nerazzurri travel to Amsterdam seeking redemption after last season's Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Martinez joined from Genoa for 13.5 million euros plus additional variables but has appeared in merely 10 fixtures this campaign. Sommer maintained his status as primary choice despite the new arrival's presence. The 36-year-old Swiss international's contract expires in summer 2026, potentially opening the door for Martinez's gradual integration into the starting lineup as performance levels fluctuate.
