Inter’s injury crisis continues as Stefan de Vrij, Andrea Ranocchia and Matteo Darmian are not expected to recover for the match against Roma.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi will have little options in defence when the Nerazzurri face José Mourinho’s Roma at the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow.
“We are still without Ranocchia and Darmian, De Vrij and Kolarov don’t have many chances, I think they’ll be available against Real Madrid or Cagliari,” Inzaghi said.
“Bastoni hasn’t got fever anymore but hasn’t trained with us yet. Some players picked up knocks here and there, so I’ll have to evaluate them.
“It’s not easy to play every three days, there should be more attention to the fixture list, by putting together international games in a single period. Us coaches need to adapt and we are doing it.”
Darmian and Ranocchia picked up injuries earlier this week and are expected to remain out of action for 15-20 days.
De Vrij sustained a muscle injury while on international duty with the Netherlands and has missed Inter’s last four games against Napoli, Shakhtar Donetsk, Venezia and Spezia.
