Fiorentina Vs Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Fitness Update On Injured Italy & Argentina Stars | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni and Lautaro Martinez are both major fitness concerns for Inter Milan ahead of Sunday’s Serie A trip to Fiorentina, with the Italy defender a significant doubt and the Argentina captain confirmed absent as he targets an Easter comeback.

Bastoni has been training only partially with the group again today after the shin injury he sustained in the derby.

The discomfort is gradually easing, but a full recovery in time for Sunday remains difficult to envisage.

Bastoni was called up to the Italy squad by Gennaro Gattuso for the World Cup playoffs.

However, his availability for the Fiorentina trip looks unlikely, as per FCInter1908.

Cristian Chivu is expected to again turn to Carlos Augusto to fill the left centre-back role.

Indeed, as he did in the Atalanta draw.

Lautaro‘s absence is already confirmed.

The Inter captain is following a structured recovery programme put in place by the medical staff, training separately but at a good pace.

The focus is firmly on Inter vs Roma at Easter, the fixture identified as his realistic return date.

And, indeed, no risks will be taken ahead of that target.

With the international break following immediately after Fiorentina, Inter have every incentive to be patient with their most important player.
