The injury problem at Inter continues to be a major topic of concern. Even tonight, for the important first-leg semifinal against Milan in the Coppa Italia, coach Simone Inzaghi will have to do without several starters. Indeed, Dumfries, Taremi, Lautaro Martinez, and Zielinski will be unavailable, as will the suspended Asllani.
To cope with these continuing injury issues, the Inter coach has decided to include a young talent from the Nerazzurri’s Primavera team in tonight’s derby at San Siro. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, young forward Matteo Lavelli, born in 2006, will join the first team.
Furthermore, Lavelli was forced to hurriedly take a night flight from Turkey to join the senior squad after playing yesterday in the unfortunate defeat suffered by Inter U19 against Trabzonspor, in a match that resulted in their elimination from the Youth League quarterfinals.
