Blow For Inter Milan – Two Key Players Out Of Champions League Squad Vs Bayer Leverkusen

And Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has some mixed news concerning his squad ahead of the showdown with the Germany champions.

Dumfries & Acerbi Out Vs Leverkusen – Buchanan In The Squad

The big news is that Inter wingback Dumfries will not be in the squad tomorrow.

The Dutchman is not travelling with the squad today.

The reason for Dumfries’s absence is flu-like symptoms.

It is unfortunately the time of year when respiratory viruses are spreading around. Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had previously missed last month’s Serie A clash with Hellas Verona.

And Dumfries will not be able to play a part tomorrow.

Meanwhile, defender Acerbi is also not travelling with the squad. He is staying back to work on recovering from his thigh strain.

Acerbi is nearly back to full fitness. But he is not quite ready, and Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is not risking the veteran Italian international.

On a more positive note, wingback Tajon Buchanan is in the Inter squad travelling to Germany.

The Canadian has been dealing with slight muscle fatigue. However, this has not stopped him from travelling, although he will just be on the bench to start tomorrow.
