Numerous key Inter Milan stars are reportedly expected to join their national teams in the upcoming international break.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the San Siro giants face a major injury risk as several first-team stars head out for international duty.
Several high-profile injuries have plagued the Nerazzurri in the second half of the season.
In addition to long-term absentee Denzel Dumfries, Cristian Chivu lost Hakan Calhanoglu at the start of the calendar year.
Furthermore, Lautaro Martinez suffered a calf problem during the first leg of Inter’s fateful Champions League tie against Bodo/Glimt.
Alessandro Bastoni picked up a knock against AC Milan last weekend, adding to Chivu’s growing list of concerns.
Inter Milan Afraid of Injuries Ahead of March International Break
Inter will lock horns with Atalanta and Fiorentina in their last two Serie A fixtures ahead of the international break.
Then, they’ll face a mass exodus.
Indeed, Lautaro is hellbent on featuring for Argentina in a mouth-watering Finalissima showdown against Spain.
Despite his recent fitness issues, Calhanoglu is eager to help Turkey secure FIFA World Cup qualification.
Therefore, he is likely to captain the Crescent-Stars against Romania.
Nicolo Barella, Francesco Pio Esposito, Federico Dimarco, and Bastoni have been vital to Gennaro Gattuso’s setup.
As such, they’ll probably feature for Italy in a decisive qualifying playoff tie against Northern Ireland.
