By Football Italia staff
Inter director Beppe Marotta insists Antonio Conte’s ‘decisions are incontestable’ after half-fit Nicolò Barella was preferred to Christian Eriksen against Shakhtar Donetsk.

“Our objective is to keep growing and playing for qualification in the last game shows our improvement from last season,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
Barella is in the starting XI despite an ankle injury, so is Antonio Conte really so against Christian Eriksen that he’d rather use a half-fit Barella?
“I say that when a player is fielded, he is always in the best condition to give what is asked of him, so Barella is more than ready for this match.
“The questions on Eriksen are getting a bit irritating, we have already said many times that the players who start are just as important as those who come off the bench to contribute.
“Conte makes his decisions in the interests of the players and the club. So full respect for Eriksen, but Conte’s decisions are incontestable.”
