Inter Milan stars Lautaro Martinez and Yann Bisseck will miss Friday’s home clash against Serie A strugglers Cagliari.
According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, both players are looking to recover for Inter’s upcoming trip to Turin to face Torino.
Lautaro Martinez had to skip Inter’s stunning 4-3 victory over Como last weekend due to a calf injury.
Furthermore, El Toro will be unavailable for Inter’s next home match, meaning Francesco Pio Esposito could start alongside Marcus Thuram.
With Inter set to meet Como in a decisive Coppa Italia semi-final second leg next week, Cristian Chivu is sweating over the Argentine’s fitness.
However, he can draw confidence from Thuram’s return to form.
Despite resuming training earlier this week, Bisseck will not be at Chivu’s disposal on Friday.
Indeed, the German defender, who suffered a muscle injury toward the end of the international break, is still lacking match fitness.
Therefore, veteran center-back Francesco Acerbi is likely to make a third consecutive Serie A start for the first time this season.
Meanwhile, it’s uncertain whether Alessandro Bastoni would make the starting XI after being taken off at halftime during Sunday’s win at Como.
