Inter, Pavard partially returns to group: injury updates

Inter are trying to put the pieces back together after their derby defeat against Milan. Benjamin Pavard has taken a step forward in his recovery by joining team training for part of the session. It is an encouraging sign for Cristian Chivu’s side, who face a quick turnaround in the Champions League.

The conditions of the other unavailable players remain under review. Assessments concern Lautaro Martinez, Curtis Jones and Stones, with the club continuing to monitor their fitness and the time needed for them to return. No definitive indications have been provided regarding their comebacks, and no final decision has been made ahead of the next fixture.

Inter come into this update after three close matches: a 2-1 win over Fiorentina, a 0-2 victory away to Venezia and a 3-1 derby defeat. On Tuesday 3 November at 21:00, the Nerazzurri will visit Feyenoord in Rotterdam for matchday four of the Champions League. The injured players’ recoveries could therefore affect Chivu’s choices for an immediate and important away match.
