Injury Woes Hit Inter Milan Ahead of Derby della Madonnina, AC Milan in Strong Position
As the Serie A returns from the international break, the stage is set for the highly anticipated Derby della Madonnina between Inter Milan and AC Milan. Inter faces challenges with key injuries, including Denzel Dumfries and Hakan Calhanoglu, which may disrupt coach Cristian Chivu’s plans for his debut derby. These absences put pressure on Inter to find solutions in both defense and midfield while trying to maintain their top-of-the-table position.
Despite the setbacks, some Inter players returned from international duty in good form. Lautaro Martinez, Piotr Zielinski, and Pio Esposito all contributed goals and performances that could boost morale and provide tactical options for Chivu. Their recent displays offer a potential counterbalance to the squad’s injury concerns ahead of the high-stakes match against city rivals.
In contrast, AC Milan enters the derby in a more stable situation. The team welcomes back Ardon Jashari from injury, while key players like Christian Pulisic, Christopher Nkunku, and Rafael Leao are ready to lead the attack. AC Milan’s squad appears physically prepared, and coach Massimiliano Allegri has minimal injury concerns, giving the Rossoneri confidence heading into the clash.
Historical trends further favor AC Milan, who remain unbeaten in their last five derbies against Inter, with three wins and two draws. This record, combined with their current momentum in Serie A, adds psychological pressure on Inter to overcome past struggles and the injury setbacks, making the upcoming derby a critical test for both teams.
