Antonio Conte will once again avoid taking questions from the media before Inter’s big match at Juventus, according to a report in the Italian media.

FcInter1908.it said Conte would conduct an interview with Inter TV ahead of Saturday’s Derby d’Italia, just as he did before yesterday’s match at home to Roma.

Conte’s future remains in doubt due to the intense financial problems Inter are experiencing, which has led Steven Zhang to ask players for wage cuts.

Zhang will meet Conte at the end of the season, as per a report today, but in the meantime it seems Conte does not want to answer questions about the Nerazzurri’s off-field issues.

Inter trained in relaxed spirits at Appiano Gentile today, despite a brief controversy this morning about a birthday dinner organised by Romelu Lukaku last night.

Conte also buried his rift with Lautaro Martinez in hilarious fashion, following last night’s spat during the Roma game, by taking on the striker in a boxing match.
