Inter begin the international break with six players in the treatment room: Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny, John Stones, Curtis Jones and Aleksandar Stanković. Cristian Chivu is keeping tabs on Lautaro, Stones and Jones as they recover from earlier injuries, as well as Thuram, Bonny and Stankovic, who have just been injured.
Lautaro
Lautaro Martinez has been out since 13 October, the night Inter lost at home to Bruges. His recovery from a strain in the left thigh flexor muscles is almost complete. Chivu could name the number 10 in the squad for the first match after the break, against Atalanta on 22 November.
Thuram
During Sunday's win over Como, Thuram felt discomfort in his right biceps femoris. The problem has forced him to miss his national team's upcoming matches, including Thursday's game against Italy at the Meazza. The Frenchman is unlikely to recover by 22 November or for the Champions League match against Stuttgart on the 25th. A return to the squad against Genoa on 28 November looks more realistic.
Bonny
Bonny faces a longer spell out after suffering an injury to the right thigh flexor muscle. The Frenchman picked up the injury late in the Inter-Como match and is expected to be out for a month, with a return anticipated for Inter-Torino on 13 December or Lecce-Inter on 18 December.
Stankovic
Stankovic also faces a wait to return to the squad after suffering a muscle injury during Monday's training session with the Serbian national team. The midfielder will be out for around a month, leaving Inter-Torino on 13 December or Lecce-Inter on 18 December as potential return dates for him, too.
Stones and Jones
Of the two Englishmen, Stones should be available again immediately after the break, on 22 November. The same goes for Jones, who has almost completely recovered from the lingering effects of the myofascial strain in his right thigh adductors that Inter announced on 8 October.
