Simone Inzaghi assures there is ‘no fear’ of losing Lautaro Martinez and Marcelo Brozovic for the Milan Derby, as they are yellow cards against Venezia. ‘We have to take it one game at a time.’
It kicks off at 17.00 GMT, you can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.
Lautaro Martinez, Brozovic and Arturo Vidal are one yellow card away from suspension in the Milan Derby.
However, the coach has picked Lautaro and Brozovic for the starting XI against Venezia today. Does he not fear they could be banned for the biggest game of the season so far?
“I don’t think there’s any fear, especially as the derby is not in my thoughts right now,” Inzaghi told DAZN.
“We have a very, very important match against a solid, well-prepared opponent, so we need maximum concentration for Venezia. We have to take it one game at a time.”
Considering Joaquin Correa’s flexor injury will keep him out for over a month, will the coach ask for January reinforcements in attack?
“Correa’s injury was a blow, especially as he was just getting back into shape, but these things happen. We’ll discuss it. I have an important club that is ready to take action whenever needed.”
Inzaghi: “Mando in campo i diffidati? Derby ora non è nella mia testa, massima concentrazione sul Venezia. Tornare sul mercato dopo stop Correa? Non ci voleva, stava tornando bene. Ora parleremo con la società, ho la fortuna di avere una società importante, forte e sempre pronta” pic.twitter.com/pLL1nhB2A6
