The Italian defender is set to be called up

Cristian Chivu is working at Appiano Gentile to try and get his Inter side back on track following the draw with Atalanta, which even threatened to reignite the Scudetto race. The title race needs to be settled as soon as possible, and the upcoming fixture list demands the utmost focus and, above all, the return of key players vital to the squad’s rotation.


And excellent news is coming from Appiano Gentile regarding both Alessandro Bastoni and Lautaro Martinez.



  • GROUP STICKS

    Alessandro Bastoni came off the pitch battered and bruised in the derby defeat against Milan, having been forced to leave the field following a foul on Rabiot. A heavy blow to the shin forced him to miss the match against Atalanta.


    Today, however, the centre-back, born in 1999, took part in part of the team training session and is expected to complete the full session with the rest of his teammates tomorrow. As a result, his inclusion in the squad for the match against Fiorentina is not in doubt, and a return to the starting line-up cannot be ruled out either.

  • LAUTARO PUSHES, INTER SAY NO

    Lautaro Martinez, on the other hand, is raring to get back on the pitch, having virtually recovered from the muscle injury he sustained in the first leg against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League play-offs.


    However, Inter are taking every precaution with their captain, firstly to avoid any potential relapse and, secondly, to try to prevent Lautaro from being called up by Argentina for the friendly against Guatemala, scheduled as a replacement for the Finalissima, which was cancelled due to the well-known issues currently plaguing Qatar, the competition’s host nation.
