According to Sky Sport, Stones will not be available even for the match against Parma. The English defender needs more days to recover and the exact timeline should become clearer in the first days of next week.

On the training front, Inter did not meet on the pitch today: training is expected to resume tomorrow, when the last internationals, including Lautaro Martinez, will return. Djed Spence, who is still working towards peak condition, and Calhanoglu, who has recovered, are available.

Chivu will therefore have to deal with the absence of the British center-back ahead of the next league match.
