Inter is monitoring the condition of its injured players ahead of next Sunday’s away match at the Franchi against Fiorentina. According to Sky Sport, optimism is growing for the return of Calhanoglu, who should be available again precisely for the match against the Viola. The Turkish midfielder had missed the game against Atalanta after remaining on the bench for the entire ninety minutes in the derby.
The situation is more uncertain for Lautaro Martinez. “There is a need to recover Lautaro but there are no certainties that he can recover for Florence and after Florence there will be the break with Argentina playing the Finalissima against Spain, Lautaro has a double desire to help Inter and the national team but risks cannot be taken, we will see how the situation evolves, Lautaro will definitely try but there is no certainty,” explained Matteo Barzaghi to Sky.
The Nerazzurri captain is therefore in doubt both for the league match and for the subsequent break dedicated to national teams, during which Argentina will face Spain in the Finalissima. The player intends to be present on both occasions, but the club does not want to take unnecessary risks.
The condition of Mkhitaryan also needs to be assessed, as he left the match against Atalanta due to a physical problem. More will be known about the extent of the Armenian midfielder’s injury when training resumes.
