Inter are dealing with an injury emergency that has already reached unusual proportions at this stage of the season. Nerazzurri players have collectively missed 21 matches, a figure not recorded for ten years. The tally reflects the physical difficulties faced by Cristian Chivu’s team, competing on several fronts.

The number includes the absences accumulated so far and arrives during an especially demanding stretch of the schedule. Managing the squad is more complicated because Serie A and the Champions League must be alternated, with every unavailable player reducing the coach’s options. Luis Henrique’s injury and the continued absences of Stones and Pavard are the latest signs of a problem that keeps affecting the rotations.

Inter go into Sunday’s match against Fiorentina, on 25 October, after the 1-0 win over Shakhtar on 21 October and the 3-1 away victory against Bologna on 17 October. Before the derby at San Siro on 31 October, the Nerazzurri will also travel to Venice on 28 October. Chivu will therefore have to manage the workload with a squad already heavily tested by injuries.
