Feyenoord and Champions League quarter-final qualification are already in the past, now Inter is focused on the upcoming match against Atalanta on Sunday evening. Simone Inzaghi’s team had a day off today, but tomorrow they will return to training in Appiano Gentile to prepare for the important league game against one of the strongest clubs in the league.
NO RETURNS – At the post-match press conference against Feyenoord, Simone Inzaghi clearly stated: “We will not recover any of the injured players.” He was referring to Darmian, Dimarco, Zalewski, and Zielinski. The first three are expected to be ready after the break, while Zielinski will require a bit more patience. The situation is different for Frattesi and de Vrij, who felt discomfort in the last Champions League match.
DE VRIJ SITUATION – Regarding Frattesi, there is no cause for concern. As for de Vrij, the situation requires more attention. De Vrij, who yesterday during the pre-match warm-up asked not to play due to knee discomfort, underwent medical examinations this morning which ruled out injuries. The defender has a state of inflammation from overload and is expected to train separately in the coming days, in an attempt to rejoin the group between Friday and Saturday, making himself available for Bergamo. Inter are optimistic about the player’s recovery, but final clarity will come within the next 48 hours.
