Inter could welcome Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu back from injury ahead of the Derby d’Italia. If both are fit enough for bench roles, bettors might favor a tighter, lower-scoring affair or consider backing Inter with an Asian +1 handicap; monitor final team news before staking.
Inter Milan Injury Update: Barella and Calhanoglu Near Returns
Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are edging closer to fitness and could be available for Inter’s upcoming fixtures. Both midfielders have missed recent matches through separate issues, but club medical staff report progress that could see them involved as substitutes in the next games.
Barella: Training setback but recovery on track
Barella was sidelined after sustaining an injury in training that ruled him out of Inter’s trip to Germany and subsequent matches. The midfielder has resumed light work and is progressing through the rehabilitation plan. Expect him to be eased back via the bench rather than a full 90-minute return immediately.
Calhanoglu: Calf issue progressing toward match fitness
Calhanoglu missed several fixtures after suffering a calf problem during a home match in early December. The 31-year-old playmaker has been out for multiple matches but is reportedly close to returning to full training and could feature from the bench this weekend.
Tactical implications ahead of Derby d’Italia
Having both players available would restore creative options and midfield stability for Inter ahead of the Derby d’Italia against Juventus on February 15. Even as substitutes, their presence increases rotation possibilities and reduces reliance on younger or fringe players.
Betting implications and what punters should watch
Fitness doubts suggest cautious market moves: expect shorter odds for Inter in markets tied to goalscorers and midfield influence if both are confirmed fit. If uncertainty remains until matchday, Asian handicap markets (Inter +1) or reduced-goals lines could offer value. Always check official team lists before placing bets.
