Nicolò Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alessandro Bastoni will miss next week’s game against Napoli if they get a yellow card against Genoa today, while André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is at risk of suspension for the Partenopei.

Inter visit Napoli at the Stadio Maradona on March 1 in a crucial match in the Serie A title race.

Nerazzurri and Partenopei supporters will follow this weekend’s action, hoping that some of their best players will not commit bookable offences.

Inter will host Genoa at San Siro on Saturday evening, while Napoli visit Como at the Stadio Sinigaglia in Sunday’s lunchtime match.

As highlighted by Goal.com, Inter have three players at risk of suspension in today’s game against Genoa.

Barella, Mkhitaryan and Bastoni have collected four yellow cards so far, so another bookable offence will lead to a one-game ban. If they get a yellow card against Genoa, today, they’ll miss the upcoming game with Napoli on March 1.

The same goes for Napoli midfielder Zambo-Anguissa, the January Serie A player of the month. The Cameroon international will have to be cautious and avoid yellow cards at Como tomorrow to be eligible against Inter.
