Teenage Duo To Be Called Up For Inter Milan In Serie A Clash With Fiorentina As Barella & Calhanoglu Absent | OneFootball

Defender Giacomo Stabile and midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic will be called up for Inter Milan’s squad to face Fiorentina on Sunday.

This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it, who anticipate that the pair will be part of the squad for the Serie A clash with Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu absnet.

Inter will be facing this weekend’s Serie A match away to Fiorentina without a couple of key players.

Both of Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu will be missing through suspension.

Both of the midfield duo had been one booking away from suspension heading into the Supercoppa Italiana.

Yellow cards in the Supercoppa count towards Serie A. And both went onto the book during the tournament. Therefore, they will therefore be out of the team for Sunday’s match.

This leaves Inter coach Simone Inzaghi relatively light in options in midfield.

The coach will almost certainly give the two starting spots alongside Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Kristjan Asllani and Davide Frattesi.

But then there will be a buit of a headache. In terms of filling out the senior squad for the match.

Aleksandar Stankovic & Giacomo Stabile To Be Called Up For Fiorentina Vs Inter Match

The Gazzetta report that Inzaghi will get around this problem by calling up a couple of players from the Nerazzurri Primavera squad.

Midfielder Stankovic has been one of the outstanding players for the Under-19 team this season.

The 18-year-old, who is the son of legendary former Inter and Lazio midfielder Dejan Stankovic, will get his chance in the first-team squad.

Another teenager who will be in the first-team squad on Sunday is defender Giacomo Stabile.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta report, Alessandro Bastoni and Denzel Dumfries were both back in training today.

And Barella, who will miss Sunday’s match, trained separately.

With the Italian international having had a heavy workload throughout the first half of the season, the thinking was that missing the match against La Viola can be a bit of a breather for him.

Then, Barella can hopefully be at his absolute best for the match against Juventus at the start of next month.
