The first leg had already smoothed the path towards qualification, and with the upcoming Atalanta-Inter match, there was a risk of underestimating the return fixture of the Champions League round of sixteen. However, this did not happen, as Inzaghi’s men defeated Feyenoord in the second leg as well.
It’s certainly a great satisfaction for the Nerazzurri’s manager, who in the post-match press conference reiterated his team’s European ambitions, also briefly addressing the upcoming crucial Serie A clash scheduled for Sunday. Inzaghi also discussed the team’s injuries and possible returns for the match at Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta-Inter: Who recovers from injuries
Inter have clearly faced an injury crisis on the wings for several weeks, with only Carlos Augusto’s return partially improving the situation. However, Inzaghi was very clear regarding the players available for Sunday’s match, also providing updates on De Vrij and Frattesi, who came off with issues in the Champions League match.
Here are his words:
Unfortunately, no one will recover for the Atalanta match. Frattesi was only fatigued, so there are no concerns in his case. De Vrij had a minor issue during the final training session and did not feel comfortable during warm-up. We’ll see what we can do, but we hope to have him in Bergamo.
