Inter-Parma: Lautaro's Return, Stones Out

October 8, 2026Pablo Navarro2 мин

Serie A resumes after a longer-than-usual international break. Inter's last outing was a draw against Roma, leaving the Nerazzurri tied at the top of the standings with Roma and the surprising Lazio. Cristian Chivu's team aims to secure a win immediately to start strong this month, which includes nine matches across the league and Champions League before the November break.

Tomorrow, Cristian Chivu will have his squad available, excluding injured players. Lautaro Martinez will be the last to rejoin the team in Milan after his national duty. He will likely not start on Saturday at 6 PM, making way for the Thuram-Bonny pairing. Regarding injuries, John Stones will miss the game. The English center-back is still recovering from a left hamstring issue sustained nearly a month ago. He will need a few more days before returning to the pitch. The team will proceed cautiously, given the tight schedule, to avoid the risk of recurrence.

Two Days Until Inter-Parma: Lautaro to Appiano Tomorrow, Stones Unavailable

Serie A is finally back after an extended international break. Inter left us with a draw against Roma, leading into the break at the top of the league alongside the Giallorossi and surprise team Lazio. Coach Chivu's objective is to immediately find victory and start this busy month – featuring nine games across the league and Champions League until the November break – on the right foot.

Tomorrow, Cristian Chivu will have the full squad, barring injuries. Lautaro Martinez will be the last to return to Milan following his national team commitments. He will almost certainly not start on Saturday at 6 PM, ceding his place to the Thuram-Bonny partnership. Speaking of injuries, John Stones will not be available for the match. The English center-back is still dealing with the left hamstring strain he picked up almost a month ago. A few more days are needed to see the former Manchester City player back on the field, but the team will proceed without haste, given the close games, to avoid the risk of setbacks.
