The availability of John Stones for Inter–Parma next Saturday remains highly doubtful. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the English defender is still recovering from the flexor problem suffered against Udinese. So far, he has made four official appearances against Monza, Cagliari, Real Madrid, and the Friulians, with the latter being his first time starting in the lineup.

From yesterday’s training session at Appiano Gentile, however, comes good news regarding Hakan Calhanoglu.

Ange-Yoan Bonny has returned to base after his commitments with Ivory Coast. Apart from Thuram, the Ivorian was the first striker to return and be available to Chivu, ahead of Esposito and several days before Lautaro. His early return allows him to be a candidate for a spot in the upcoming matches.
