Joaquin Correa is somewhat likelier than Romelu Lukaku for Inter’s Champions League clash with Barcelona on Wednesday.

This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it, who report that both of the pair are likely to miss out, but that Correa has more of a chance of being available to make the bench for the group stage match.

Lukaku is putting the finishing touches on his recovery from a thigh injury picked up in September, whilst Correa is out with a thigh problem that he picked up against Barcelona last week.

The Belgian worked with the ball in training yesterday as he gets closer and closer to match fitness, whilst the Argentine mainly focused on athletic training.

In both cases, the feeling is that they will not be rushed back to face the Blaugranas.

However, in Correa’s case the 28-year-old looks to be marginally likely to complete his recovery over the next couple of days.
