Juventus and Inter, heading towards the derby with a lot of injuries

Juventus and Inter have a lot to work on to recover from injuries. And on the eve of the Italian derby this problem it puts you in a bit of a frenzy their respective infirmaries. The national break having ended (well), the menu for the next Serie A matchday offers a mouth-watering match: on the 26th there is the Italian derby which could be worth overtaking Juventus at the top or making a mini escape of Inter. Stuff for refined palates, in short.

Juventus and Inter, an entire team of unavailable people

And here’s the problem. All things considered, at the moment there is in fact almost an entire transversal team of unavailable people. Which in fact, on both sides, are ten: seven for the Bianconeri and three for the Nerazzurri. At the moment. As for Juventus, excluding those suspended without the possibility of Pogba and Fagioli return, considering the irrecoverable Danilo and De Sciglio, the infirmary will work hard to recover Miretti, Huijsen, Weah, Locatelli and Alex Sandro. In short: half a team, in fact.

In Appiano Gentile, things seem a little simpler, actually: faint hopes of being able to count on Cuadrado (who would in fact play in what has been his home for eight long years) exist. At least on paper. In practice the Colombian struggles for several days with an inflammation very annoying to the Achilles tendon, and the next few days – also in light of the instrumental therapies to which the footballer will undergo – will be decisive in understanding whether there are real possibilities that Inzaghi can take his candidacy into consideration.

Different story on Bastoni who apparently still suffers from the resentment accused at right calf and aims to return against Napoli. «We are in an interim phase of the championship, I don’t think the result is decisive. Juve are favorites in the medium-long term, not participating in European competitions is an advantage”, said Inter general manager Beppe Marotta. In short, the derby has already begun.
