Inter currently have five players dealing with injury problems, four of whom are defenders, according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

Central midfielder Matias Vecino was the first player to sustain an injury with him injuring his knee and unlikely to be able to play a game every three days as a result.

Defensive quartet Diego Godin, Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Vrij and Danilo D’Ambrosio all also have issues they are dealing with.

The report from the Rome based news outlet goes on to explain that whilst there is still time for them to recover, it is premature to imagine that all five players will be fit and at the disposal of Inter manager Antonio Conte for Inter’s Coppa Italia semi final second leg match-up away to Napoli which is due to take place in 10 days time at the Stadio San Paolo.
