Inter Milan head into their Serie A clash against Lecce with mixed injury news, but there is optimism surrounding Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi.
Lautaro Martinez is set to undergo medical tests today, with his absence in Lecce already confirmed as the club awaits clarity on the extent of his issue.
There is better news regarding Zielinski, via La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Polish midfielder picked up minor discomfort following the challenging conditions in Norway but is reportedly feeling significantly better.
No medical tests are scheduled.
Instead, he will simply be assessed by Inter’s staff before the trip south.
Lecce Vs Inter – Boost As Zielinski & Frattesi Available
With Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu suspended, Zielinski is a strong candidate to operate in the regista role.
Frattesi has also recovered from recent gastrointestinal problems and trained without limitations, putting himself firmly in contention.
Meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries is accelerating his recovery.
The Dutch defender is targeting the March 8 derby, though a surprise return against Genoa cannot be ruled out.
Probable Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Diouf, Dimarco; Esposito, Thuram.
Great news. He is in form.
