Inter to Get Some Help, Ponder Remedies After Stumbles | OneFootball

Inter are reeling after the rough loss versus Milan in the return leg of the Coppa Italia Derby and the costly slip-up versus Bologna. They hadn’t been defeated in back-to-back games in two years. More importantly, the faux pas cost them a cup and allowed Napoli to draw even in the standings.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri will soon get some help from the infirmary. Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski have recovered and will be available against Roma on Sunday. Marcus Thuram will be a close call for that game, but, at worst, he’ll be back versus Barcelona and perhaps start right away.

Moreover, Simone Inzaghi plans to stop rotating after the Verona tilt, which is sandwiched between the two Barcelona clashes. Several deputies have disappointed him and aren’t close to the level of the starters. Inter will lean heavily on their stars down the stretch.

The Nerazzurri face the risk of coming up empty-handed after being in contention for the treble. The squad, which played its 51st seasonal match, looked visibly spent on Wednesday.

Our Take on Inter and Inzaghi

It stings more because their elimination came at the hands of Milan and in ugly fashion but, in the big scheme of things, the gaffer was right in fielding the backups, as the Coppa Italia is a less prestigious objective than the other two they are chasing. The slip-up against Bologna was a lot more worrying. If the downturn continues and costs them the Scudetto, it’ll likely impact their strategies for the summer.
