Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport keep a close eye on the injury situation of Inter’s Croatian international full back Sime Vrsaljko.
The Croatian was left in Milano to continue training in Appiano, while the rest of the squad went to London and he is hoping to be fit and ready for Roma but will be kept on the bench if Spalletti and his staff believe it is too risky.
Despite the excitement around the Nerazzurri’s next big Champions League game against Tottenham, the weekends league fixture against Roma presents an unmissable opportunity to go 12 points above a big rival. Roma are also expected to be missing some players, combined with their poor form, Inter aren’t going to get a better opportunity to bury the hatchet in the club that they took Radja Nainggolan from.
It might even be an opportunity for Spalletti to try Candreva in a defensive role, given D’Ambrosio’s busy week, unless the coach decides to use Skriniar at right-back against Tottenham, as he surprisingly did in the first leg.
