These are troubled times for Inter.
Indeed, the reigning Serie A champions head into tomorrow's clash amid a three-game losing streak.
Furthermore, they failed to get on the scoresheet in all three defeats.
Therefore, Inzaghi has recognized the urgent need for a tactical shake-up to breathe new life into Inter's misfiring attack.
Davide Frattesi to Join Lautaro Martinez in Inter Milan Attack vs Barcelona

Marcus Thuram is on the verge of full recovery.
However, the Frenchman will likely start on the bench as Inzaghi doesn't want to risk aggravating the problem.
Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi has proved incapable of reaching his Porto form.

Joaquin Correa is not on the club's UEFA list, while Marko Arnautovic isn't in a perfect fitness condition.
As such, Frattesi could be Inzaghi's solution, considering his well-documented scoring prowess.
Nonetheless, it's a double-edged sword.

Inter Milan vs. Urawa Red Diamonds odds, predictions: FIFA Club World Cup picks, best bets Saturday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. We should get a pretty good idea of how seriously Inter Milan is taking the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday. The Italians were not at their best in a 1-1 draw against Monterrey in their opening match, adding to concerns that Inter would have a tough time getting up for this tournament after a grueling season that saw them finish as runners-up in both Serie A and the Champions League. Inter had a two-week break before heading to North America for the Club World Cup after falling just short of a historic season, so it's not a shock they were stodgy in their tilt with Monterrey. Inter fell behind by one goal early, but clawed back into the match and secured a 1-1 draw. Saturday's match with Urawa Red Diamonds should be a walk in the park for La Beneamata on paper, but if Inter are disinterested, the Japanese side are a threat to pull off a stunner at Lumen Field in Seattle. Urawa were also uninspiring in their opening match, a 3-1 loss to River Plate, and they'll likely need to pull the upset to have any chance of moving on in this tournament. The Red Diamonds were the only team in Group E that didn't get a point, and they'll be underdogs again in their final match of Round 1 against Monterrey. Yann Sommer of Inter Milan during a break in play at the FIFA Club World Cup. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters It's a massive ask, but Urawa have to go for this win. That should lead to a more aggressive approach from the Japanese side, which should leave them vulnerable to Inter's counterattack. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps And given how they defended against River Plate, that could lead to disaster. If Inter brings anything close to their A-game, they should be able to get us to this Over on their own.
