The Inter Milan trio of Alexis Sanchez, Francesco Acerbi, and Stefano Sensi ought to be available for the derby match against AC Milan the following weekend.
This is according to the Rome-based publication Corriere dello Sport’s print edition from today, as reported by FCInterNews.
The first of Inter’s two Serie A games versus Milan will take place in less than a week.
The biggest games for Inter are almost usually those against the Rossoneri. But it could be argued that this derby is even more important than normal.
The only two teams in Serie A to have three straight victories are Inter and Milan.
Thus, the game on Saturday will already have significant Scudetto ramifications.
The following week will be dedicated to Nerazzurri and Rossoneri preparation for the derby on Saturday. Both sides are now lacking a number of important players because they are away on international duty.
As the week goes on, the foreign players will return, and Simone Inzaghi of Inter and Stefano Pioli of Milan will start to have access to their entire rosters in preparation for the game next Saturday.
For the Milan Derby, Inter’s Alexis, Acerbi, and Sensi should be healthy.
The fitness news is favorable for Inter coach Inzaghi, according to the Corriere.
Alexis Sanchez, a forward, comes first.
The Chilean’s absence from his country’s first World Cup qualifying match of the break against Uruguay may have caused some people to worry about his health. especially considering that Sanchez had been unable to attend Inter’s games against Cagliari and Fiorentina.
However, the Corriere claims that the 34-year-old’s inability to play against Uruguay was simply due to insufficient hemoglobin levels.
This is due to Sanchez’s ongoing efforts to regain match fitness.
However, as the head coach of Chile’s national team says, he ought to be able to play against Colombia this coming week.
According to the Corriere, both defender Acerbi and midfielder Sensi will resume full training this week.
With Stefan de Vrij, the latter in particular might potentially contend for the starting position against Milan. However, the Dutchman is still expected to start.
