For several weeks now, injuries have been an ongoing issue that Simone Inzaghi has had to consistently deal with. Despite having some players recovered, Inter faces fresh absences in the squad ahead of the derby Milan-Inter, the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals.
Another injury concern appeared just a few minutes prior to kick-off: Federico Dimarco, despite being on the bench, is unlikely to participate in the match, as revealed by Riccardo Trevisani speaking on Mediaset.
These were his words in the pre-match comments:
Dimarco is on the bench as a formality; it’s unlikely he will actually enter the field.
