Pio Esposito and Calhanoglu to miss Lazio vs. Inter

Pio Esposito is dealing with back pain, and Inter coach Cristian Chivu has decided to rest him ahead of next week’s Coppa Italia Final, also against Lazio.

On the other hand, Calhanoglu has been sidelined since the end of April with a soleus injury, which is expected to keep him out of action in next week’s Coppa Italia Final as well.
