Inter defender Milan Skriniar tested positive for Covid-19 again yesterday, forcing him to remain in quarantine until next week, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the 25-year-old Slovakian defender tested positive in a swab test yesterday, forcing him to remain in quarantine until Tuesday next week.

Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni tested negative for the contagion yesterday and could appear against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League next week.

In tonight’s derby against AC Milan, both Christian Eriksen and Alexis Sanchez will start the game on the bench, the report continues.

The Chilean trained regularly yesterday and is suffering from slight muscle fatigue. Nicolo Barella will play as a trequartista, with the Dane again remaining on the sidelines.

The former Spurs midfielder recently complained about his lack of playing time with the Nerazzurri and will have to impress coach Antonio Conte in the run-up to Christmas.
