Injury Report

Inter Milan

Right midfielder Juan Cuadrado is unlikely to be available for the home clash against Roma on Sunday. The experienced 35-year-old has an Achilles tendon irritation that has sidelined him since October 12th. He has missed the last two matches and is not expected to be available for selection on Sunday’s visit of Roma to the San Siro.

Inter will also be without center-forward Marko Arnautovic, who is nursing a hamstring muscle injury. The 34-year-old has been out of the first team frame since November 15th, missing the last 11 outings for Inter. He is not fit for selection, meaning his absence continues this weekend.

AS Roma

Jose Mourinho is suspended from the dugout for the trip to Inter. His team will also be without a few key players for the first team as they look to steady their form and season so far in Serie A.

Left-back Leonardo Spinazzola (muscle fatigue). Center-forward Sardar Azmoun (calf problems) and attacking midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini (hamstring) are all doubts for the trip to Milan to face inter.

Striker Paolo Dybala is nursing a collateral ligament injury, which has kept him out since October 8th. The Argentinian has missed the ensuing eight matches for Roma. His absence will continue this weekend as he works on his recovery to get back into the first team frame.

Central midfielder Renato Sanches adds to the injury worries at Roma; the 26-year-old summer signing is sidelined with a hamstring injury that has led him to miss the last eight matches. Sanches is unlikely to be fit enough to face Inter on Sunday.

Roma will also be without Marash Kumbulla, with the 23-year-old center-back out with an injury to his cruciate ligament since April 29th, whereas center-forward Tammy Abraham, has missed the last 24 Roma matches with a cruciate ligament injury expected to keep him sidelined until January 2024.

Prediction

Inter Milan will look to be dominant in front of their fans at the San Siro; they will play on the front foot and look to press and push Roma back into their half.

Inter will also be aggressive when out of possession. They will press and counter-press to win the ball back. They will also be defensively pragmatic with the wingbacks and the three center-backs, giving them a solid platform.

Roma will focus on their solidity and compactness against Inter. They will defend deep and narrow, making it difficult for Inter to create chances.

Roma will also attack on the break, giving their attackers, especially Lukaku, a chance to run at the Inter defense during transitions.

Inter will win the match and retain their spot at the top of Serie A.
