Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu to face Bundesliga giants BVB without Italy megastar Nicolo Barella in Match Day 8 of the Champions League.
The Italy midfield dynamo is out injured. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia reporter Matteo Barzaghi, as reported via FcInterNews.
Barzaghi reported that Nicolo Barella is not part of the Inter Milan squad to face BVB at the Signal Iduna Park, tomorrow Wednesday, with kick-off scheduled for 21.00 CET.
Inter Milan are in 14th spot in the Champions League table. The Nerazzurri have already secured a play-off spot in the knockout stages.
Inter verso Dortmund. Barella non parte per la Germania per affaticamento muscolare. Indisponibili oltre a lui Dumfries e Calhanoglu. @SkySport @APaventi

Inter Milan are still with a small chance to finish in the top eight of the Champions League. Doing so would mean direct qualification for the Round of 16.
However, their fate is no longer in their own hands. Meaning, should they beat Borussia Dortmund, Inter has to rely on other results going their way.
No BVB Champions League Clash For Inter Milan & Italy Star Barella Due To Injury
Matteo Barzaghi tweeted that “Inter traveling to Dortmund. Barella wont depart for Germany due to muscle fatigue. Unavailable aside from him are also Dumfries and Calhanoglu.”
Nicolo Barella has been ever present for Inter Milan this season. He has featured 29 times across all competitions, scoring the one goal this season.
The EURO 2021 winner with the Azzurri, joined Inter Milan in the summer of 2019 from Cagliari.
To date Nicolo Barella has featured 319 times across all competitions for Inter Milan, scoring 26 times in the process.
Barella has been instrumental in winning seven trophies for Inter Milan, including two Serie A titles.
He was also an instrumental part of the Inter Milan lineup that reached two Champions League and one Europa League final.
no problem, we have many good midfielders, even Mkhi, Zielinsky, Sucic, Roberto Gagliardini, Hakan, Frattesi.
Gagliardini? On which universe was he ever a good player? And what year do you live in if you think that he plays for Inter? Seriously…
think he’s a troll.
Now this is scary who’s gonna play in that midfield
what this man lacks is a fighter’s mentality that’s why he’s not seen in every big match.
I hope he’ll be back against Cremonese.
actually that’s good news !!! in case u haven’t noticed, u bum, this dude has been playing like TRASH for a YEAR AND HALF lol !!!!! now maybe that coach will have some guts and give a chance to a young talented midfielder like Diof and Susic to play together in the midfield. unless again he put that bum Fratisi again and have him watch another stricker run all the way to a loose ball and score the 3rd goal
You poor little b.stard, GTFO this site.. you don’t have a clue about anything if you’re saying Barella is trash. He is doing tremendous things for the team, his duty isn’t scoring goals but to connect the lines and change the dynamics of the play when needed.
On another note, learn to f.cking spell the names right, or don’t even bother writing anything.. because nobody cares for what you got to say
get his D out your mouth, fag! what would a paled fat zero talent like u wh never had any natural talent for anybody to desire know about this sport lol get back your grandma basement, and wash your mouth after u done with sucking more bums lol
picka ti materina prljava indijska, jebem ti sve.. you little p.ssy so strong behind keyboard and never seen anything similar to professional or semiprofessional sports.. GTFO this sit once and for all
Maybe he entered a little bit of below average performances, but even like that, he’s one of the best midfielders in the league. He was never prone to injuries, in his prime, in earlier seasons for every subpar game he played, he had 7-8 superb games and 15 games of standard regular showing. If anyone deserves some slack of our guys it’s him.
Are you happy? Can you sleep well now? Yeah, I am talking to the ones here that wanted him out.
I guess many can’t understand his work and what he brings to the team when he plays.
maybe u should go back to watch your baseball! clearly u don’t know nothing about this sport
Easy there timmy. Niko is power. This forum is not for ragebaiting or insults. Check yourself. A lot like you already cried.
Forza Inter and respect the other fans.
Bold claim from someone clearly still learning the basics.
