Carlos Augusto's return to training strengthens Inter Milan's left-side options ahead of the Coppa Italia quarter-final with Torino. For punters this nudges Inter into slight favouritism — consider backing Inter to win or a conservative double chance (Inter/Draw); if you prefer handicap markets, Inter -0.5 looks reasonable given improved defensive depth.
Carlos Augusto Back in Training Ahead of Inter vs Torino
Key update before the Coppa Italia quarter-final
Carlos Augusto has returned to training with Inter Milan ahead of Wednesday’s Coppa Italia quarter-final against Torino. The 26-year-old wingback missed the recent trip to Cremonese due to muscle fatigue but was involved in today’s session and is available for selection.
Match Context and Recent Form
Inter’s lead-up to the Torino clash
Inter claimed a 2-0 victory at Cremonese without Augusto, maintaining momentum as they chase their 10th Coppa Italia crown. The quarter-final against Torino is a knockout showdown where rotation and squad depth will matter for manager Cristian Chivu.
Squad Fitness: Who’s Still Out?
Major absentees and return timelines
Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolò Barella and Denzel Dumfries remain sidelined. The midfield duo are expected to be closer to a return by the weekend, while Dumfries’ recovery timeline is still under observation. Augusto’s availability eases pressure on the left flank but doesn’t fully restore Inter’s full-strength XI.
Tactical Implications
What Augusto’s return means for team selection
Federico Dimarco is likely to keep the starting left-back role, but Augusto offers a reliable alternative for minutes or tactical rotation. His presence gives Chivu more flexibility to protect injured starters and adjust during the match if needed, particularly in high-press or defensive reorganisations.
Betting and Match Prediction
How punters might react to the update
Augusto’s return slightly improves Inter’s defensive depth and should nudge markets towards the Nerazzurri. Practical betting angles: - Match result: lean towards Inter to win or Inter/Draw double chance. - Handicap markets: Inter -0.5 is a reasonable single-line choice given improved squad cover. - Goals market: consider under 3.5 if you expect a cautious cup tie, though absences in midfield could keep things open.
Bottom Line
Summary
Carlos Augusto’s return is a welcome boost for Inter ahead of a crucial Coppa Italia tie, offering tactical security on the left and a modest influence on betting markets. Expect Dimarco to start, but trust Inter to have better cover if the game requires adjustments.
