Six players, three for Inter and three for Milan, will miss the Coppa Italia Final if they get a yellow card in tonight’s second-leg semifinal.
Inter and Milan meet in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal tonight after a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this month.
Both sides have a few players who are one yellow card away from suspension in the competition, meaning they will miss the Final on May 14 if they are booked tonight.
Inter have Francesco Acerbi, Yann Bisseck, and Denzel Dumfries , but the latter is not at risk of getting a yellow card as he is unavailable due to an injury.
Bisseck is not expected to start for Inter, but could be introduced in the second half, while Acerbi competes with Stefan de Vrij for a starting spot at the back.
Milan, on the other hand, must be cautious about Filippo Terracciano and regular starters Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez. The Dutch midfielder and the French defender will surely start for the Rossoneri tonight.
The winner will likely meet Bologna in the Coppa Italia Final on May 14, as the Rossoblu beat Empoli 3-0 away in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal.
Bologna and Empoli will face off again tomorrow at the Stadio Dall’Ara with kick-off time at 21:00 CET.

Sky Sports: Revitalised Man Utd man earns two new suitors overnight, INEOS braced for lucrative proposals
Amidst reports Antony is biding his time to secure his desired return to Real Betis, he’s poised to have two new options to mull over in the form of Saudi Pro League sides. The Manchester United winger is among Ruben Amorim’s exiled quartet left at Carrington to explore moves away whilst the rest of the squad embark on their pre-season tour of the United States. Marcus Rashford officially joined Barcelona on loan this week, leaving Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho as the remaining outcast players facing uncertain futures. Who’s interested in Antony this summer? In Antony’s case, he has garnered interest from several suitors in recent weeks, although nothing has materialised as far as official negotiations being held. It was reported last month that he had rebuffed a proposal to join Cesc Fabregas’ project with Como, while Atletico Madrid were said to be ‘emerging as favourites’ in the race for the Brazilian this week. From his perspective, he is keen to repay Manuel Pellegrini’s faith by returning to the Villamarin Stadium in a long-term deal, as opposed to the half-season spell he enjoyed from January to May. *Antony for Real Betis in all competitions, as per Transfermarkt The ongoing obstacle preventing an agreement from being reached is that Betis cannot financially meet United’s £30 million demands for Antony – and the Reds are unwilling to sanction yet another loan without receiving any remuneration up front. Antony’s stance on potential Saudi switch As such, INEOS will be delighted with today’s revelation from Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas, who has confirmed the 25-year-old is now a target for two unnamed Saudi clubs. It’s thought Antony is taking his time to consider the offers on the table, and, while he would ideally continue plying his trade in Europe, he ‘could be open’ to a Middle Eastern switch.

Yankees Traded Flourishing Infielder for Struggling Closer
The New York Yankees have made their 2025 goals abundantly clear: They're trying to return to the World Series and win it all. In an effort to do so, the Pinstripes traded pitcher Nestor Cortes and infielder Caleb Durbin to the Milwaukee Brewers this season, adding closer Devin Williams to the roster. Halfway into the season, it looks like that was a big mistake. The Yankees are now looking to fill gaps in the both the bullpen and the infield before the MLB trade deadline rolls around at the end of the month. Utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera was great at third base, but suffered a potentially season-ending injury in May. The Yankees tried to compensate by shifting Jazz Chisholm Jr. to third, but it was clear Chisholm excels at second, and he's since been moved back. Durbin, on the other hand, has only gotten better in Milwaukee. "Over 75 games this season, Durbin is slashing .265/.350/.382 with five homers and elite contact skills at the plate," Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media wrote. "He ranks in the 95th percentile in whiff rate and 98th in strikeout rate — rare company for a young infielder. Durbin’s advanced plate discipline would’ve been invaluable in a Yankees lineup that too often leans on boom-or-bust approaches." Then there's Devin Williams, who has been part of a shaky-at-best Yankees bullpen. He has certainly seen improvement since the beginning of the season, when he was pulled from closing duties after a blown save to the Yankees' division rival Toronto Blue Jays. However, it hasn't been quite enough. Toronto swept New York in a four game series earlier this month, securing their lead of the AL east over the Pinstripes. Williams pitched the final inning, giving up two earned runs. He has a 4.82 ERA over 37.1 innings pitched in 41 games. Williams keeps improving, and hopefully will prove that the Yankees made the right choice by acquiring him. However, that still doesn't fill the gaping hole New York has at third base, and they're likely missing Durbin's consistent abilities in the field and at the plate. The Yankees have until the July 31 MLB trade deadline to make any trades to address these issues.

Biggest impact of Josh Naylor trade may still be to come
While the Seattle Mariners landed an impact bat on Thursday night, their trade for Josh Naylor has also likely impacted the entire upcoming MLB trade deadline. On Thursday, Seattle sent a pair of top pitching prospects to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for Naylor, with left-hander Brandyn Garcia (ranked as Seattle's 13th-best prospect by MLB.com) and right-hander Ashton Izzi (ranked as Seattle's 16th-best prospect by the same rankings) heading to the desert. Knowing what the Diamondbacks received in exchange for Naylor could well set the market for what is to come between now and the conclusion of the 2025 MLB trade deadline, set for 6 p.m. (Eastern) on July 31. The 28-year-old first baseman was ranked by The Athletic as the 17th-best trade candidate likely to be available, but ranked behind just one other first baseman (Baltimore's Ryan O'Hearn, who was slotted in at 16th). If Naylor brought in a pair of pitching prospects, including Garcia, who has appeared in two games this season for Seattle, the Diamondbacks could be salivating over what third baseman Eugenio Suarez and his 36 home runs could bring in return. All MLB teams who will be buying or selling at this year's trade deadline have had the first price bar set for them with the Naylor deal. Now it will be fascinating to see what comes next, especially knowing that Naylor will be a free agent at the end of this season. If Seattle gave up two pitching prospects for a player who could be a late-season rental only, imagine what the Minnesota Twins may be able to recoup for starting pitcher Joe Ryan (under team control through the 2027 season) or the Boston Red Sox might get back for outfielder Jarren Duran, who won't be a free agent until the 2029 campaign. While Naylor may not be the biggest move to come during this span before the trade deadline comes to a close, his deal could be the one that establishes selling prices for the trades that are to come. With so few MLB teams expected to be outright sellers, the price for available talent was expected to be high. We learned on Thursday night with the Naylor swap just how high those prices may go.
Cowboys quarterback seemingly takes a shot at his former team
Joe Milton III is experiencing training camp with his second NFL team in as many seasons, and the young quarterback says he has already noticed some significant differences. Milton was traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason in a somewhat surprising move. At practice on Thursday, the former Tennessee quarterback told reporters he has been surprised by how much mentoring he has received from Dak Prescott. Milton then seemed to take a swipe at his former team. "Dak is a great leader. … All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me," Milton said. "I’ve been in another building. I know how that goes. It’s just very different over here.” Milton played behind fellow rookie Drake Maye in New England last season. He could not have expected the No. 3 overall pick to mentor him, so it is possible he was taking a shot at Jacoby Brissett, who was also on the Patriots' roster last year. Either way, it seems clear that Milton is having a better time in Dallas than he did last year. Milton gave a funnier reason for being happy about his trade to the Cowboys earlier this offseason.
