Warning for players facing suspension: who are the five Inter players at risk of suspension?

Tonight, Inter will play the second leg of their Round of 16 match at San Siro against Feyenoord. After the 2-0 victory in the first leg, Simone Inzaghi‘s team now needs only to defend the advantage gained in order to secure a pass to the quarter-finals—a milestone the coach has already reached once with the Nerazzurri, during the extraordinary run of the 2022/23 season that ended with the final in Istanbul.

In addition to defending qualification, the coach tonight must also pay close attention to five players at risk of suspension for the quarter-finals. According to UEFA regulations, accumulated yellow cards reset only starting from the semifinals.

The Inter players currently facing suspension risks if they receive another caution are: Asllani, Barella, Dumfries, Pavard, and Bastoni. Among these, the two Italian players will almost certainly start from the bench in order to rest ahead of Sunday’s important match against Atalanta. Likewise, Albanian midfielder Asllani is not expected to be in the starting lineup. Instead, both Pavard and Dumfries are set to start on the right flank.
