Inter striker Romelu Lukaku’s medical tests today showed no injuries but the 27-year-old may still miss Monday night’s league clash between the Nerazzurri and Torino, according to a report from Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport earlier today.

The report details how the Belgian striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, was forced off the pitch during Inter’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona earlier this week, due to a pain felt between his right thigh and hip.

Today’s tests showed no injuries but a slight issue which may force coach Antonio Conte to leave him out of the squad for the game against the Granata.

Lukaku carried out a personalised training session today rather than training with the squad, the report continues, and tomorrow Conte will talk with the Belgian to understand the player’s condition, as well as meeting with the medical staff. For now, it seems unlikely that the former Chelsea boss will deploy the 27-year-old on Monday.

Inter have no plans to dismiss coach Antonio Conte but the former Chelsea boss could resign to join a Premier League club at the end of this season, according to a report from Rome based newspaper La Repubblica.

The report details how the Nerazzurri wouldn’t be able to afford to sack the Lecce born coach, due to the fact that he earns around €22 million gross a year until 2022, a huge contract with two years remaining on it. The club are still paying former coach Luciano Spalletti €9 million a season, until the end of June next year.

Marotta also has no interest in losing Conte, the report continues, and trusts the former Juventus coach. The 50-year-old Italian could decide to return to the Premier League, enjoying his time in England, according to the report.

However, at the same time Conte has spoken with admiration of colleagues like Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta and Simone Inzaghi at Lazio, who have been able to build a long-term project, the report continues.

A report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper la Stampa has suggested that some of the Inter squad are unhappy with coach Antonio Conte’s training methods.

The report details how some players are unhappy with the coach’s intense training methods, with the physical intensity still ongoing, despite the three-month Coronavirus stop.

These players believe that the training conducted since the restart has been too hard in relation to the fact that the squad are playing two games a week.

There hasn’t been a direct confrontation yet, the report continues, but only an exchange of views between some members of the Inter squad, who are convinced that slightly lighter training sessions may prove beneficial.

Conte uses the full five substitutions less than his counterparts and it’s not surprise that games can be lost late when the squad are struggling to complete the game. Numerous injuries also haven’t helped in this regard.

Inter president Steven Zhang phoned CEO Beppe Marotta after the Nerazzurri’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona in the mid-week game, according to a report from Rome based newspaper la Repubblica.

The report details how the president wanted to understand what is currently going on with the squad and their inconsistent performances. The Chinese Nerazzurri president trusts Marotta, who in turn trusts coach Antonio Conte, the report continues.

A dismissal for the Lecce born coach is incredibly unlikely, especially considering his €22 million annual salary, which he will earn until 2022, and so the club haven’t even considered firing the former Chelsea and Juventus boss.

Marotta has invested a lot of his credibility into hiring Conte, the report continues, and so a dismissal of Conte would be a defeat for the Inter CEO.

A different matter would be if the 50-year-old Italian coach chose to leave at the end of the season, although this is also unlikely unless he receives an incredibly convincing offer from abroad.

Alessandro Bastoni, Christian Eriksen and Lautaro Martinez are all expected to start for Inter against Torino on Monday night, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku is likely to miss the league clash against the Granata on Monday, after suffering muscle discomfort on his right thigh.

The 27-year-old has joined the list of injured players, which also features players like Stefano Sensi, Nicolo Barella and Victor Moses. Four changes will be made to the starting 11 who faced Hellas Verona in the mid-week game.

These changes will see Alessandro Bastoni, Cristiano Biraghi, Christian Eriksen and Lautaro Martinez all return to the starting 11, the report continues. Coach Antonio Conte is forced to rotate the squad as much as possible, due to the current format of playing two games a week.

Probable Inter lineup (3-4-1-2): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan De Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Antonio Candreva, Roberto Gagliardini, Marcelo Brozovic, Cristiano Biraghi; Christian Eriksen; Alexis Sanchez, Lautaro Martinez.

Doubts are starting to emerge over Christian Eriksen’s future at Inter after the Dane struggles to impress coach Antonio Conte, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how the 28-year-old Dane joined the Nerazzurri from Tottenham in the January transfer window in a deal worth around €20 million, a large figure considering that his contract was set to expire with Spurs six months later.

The player failed to fit in Conte’s 3-5-2 formation after arriving and so the Lecce born coach changed the formation to a 3-4-1-2 after the Coronavirus stop in order to better accommodate the player.

Despite a couple of positive performances, Eriksen still hasn’t particularly impressed and Conte’s confidence in the player has plummeted, leaving the Dane’s future unpredictable.

The player is likely to start against Torino on Monday, but only because Spaniard Borja Valero is unable to play two games a week.

A report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport has detailed the friction present between Inter coach Antonio Conte, parts of the squad and the club.

The report details how the Lecce born coach has repeatably highlighted how the club would prefer to sign younger players with a more long-term view in mind, whilst the former Chelsea and Juventus boss would prefer to sign more experienced players, like Arturo Vidal or Edin Dzeko.

The club’s work in the transfer market seemingly confirms this, with the team looking to sign other young talents like Sandro Tonali and Marash Kumbulla, rather than looking at Conte’s list of Vidal, Dzeko and potentially Jan Vertonghen.

Some within the club are keen on Conte’s methods and public statements, the report continues, with some players highlighting how they’ve had to ask the coach for a lower level of physical training after suffering muscle problems.

The club, however, have no interest in dismissing him, especially because of his large contract. Things would be different, though, if he received an offer from a different club.

Inter target Sandro Tonali’s agent, Beppe Bozzo, discussed his client, the Nerazzurri, and the fight to close the gap to Juventus in an interview with Italian newspaper Foglio Sportivo earlier today.

“Tonali was born great. He has everything from a psychological and physical perspective. He is brilliant, he knows how to evaluate different options, he has a great sense of responsibility, and that makes him much more mature than his age. Factors that will certainly help him on his way to becoming a champion.”

He highlighted how good players need to be both intelligent and quick with their feet.

“You don’t become Modric if you are not intelligent, if you don’t know you have something more than the others. Or indeed, as they say in Spain, you don’t have something more than the others. Without head, heart, legs and altruism you’ll never be complete, you’re not going anywhere.”

Bozzo highlighted how Juventus managed to stay on top by buying the best players from their opponents.

“Before the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Bianconeri were always concerned with weakening their opponents, every time they were finally about to reach them. It happened with Higuain and Napoli, with Pjanic and Roma.”

Tonali’s agent suggested that Inter’s hiring of former Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta has helped to close the gap.

“Inter were out of the game because of insufficient investment, AC Milan suffered from a lack of ownership that met the expectations of a club of their caliber. The Nerazzurri, however, knowing Marotta, are destined to close the gap with Juve and, indeed, I think they have already closed it.”

Bozzo thought the work of Inter’s management in the last two transfer windows has done huge strides to closing the gap with the Bianconeri.

“The stop caused by the virus has disrupted training sessions and has allowed players to stay in the squad for longer, factors that somehow slow you down and generate chaos with respect to the goal.

“I don’t see Inter technically lagging behind Agnelli’s club, in this sense Marotta and Ausilio were good at their work in the summer and then in January.”

Finally, Bozzo discussed how Juventus can’t simply buy Inter’s best assets anymore, due to their high market value.

“This time the Bianconeri won’t be able to dismantle their competitors as they have successfully done in the past, also because the market value of the Inter has risen a lot compared to some years ago.”

Tonali has impressed in his debut season in Serie A, attracting the interest of both Juventus and Inter. The 20-year-old Italian has made 29 appearances across all competitions so far this season, scoring one goal and providing six assists in that time.

Inter starlet Sebastiano Esposito is close to signing a new deal with Inter, extending his deal from 2022 to 2025, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the 18-year-old Italian striker has signed with a new agent, Federico Pastorello, and is close to signing a new deal with the Milanese club, tying him to them until 2025. The club’s plans regarding Esposito haven’t changed and the club will send him out on loan next season in order to give him regular playing time, with the current likely destination being Parma.

Inter coach Antonio Conte was so impressed by Esposito last summer that he promoted the then 17-year-old to the first team, giving him his first team debut in a Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund in October. The Italian teenager has made 11 first team appearances this season and has scored one goal in that time.
