Both Bastoni and Skriniar have Covid

Inter are without defence against Milan .

Don't show up to the game imo. And we can blame Juve for it.

Caputo played in Serie B until 30yo, now he just scored in his debut for Italy. Great story and he looked really happy.

An Italy lineup with 3 Sassuolo starters. Even if its due to rotations in a friendly, its a testament to how well Sassuolo are run.

eh... tbh i dont wish this happen to our rival club or anyone ; sorry robes vibes, all internista. feel for u guys, we had to play without any forwards and also we had nearly no defense also also btw lets not forget
until things subside its going to be very much times when some players will have to do makeshift positions

really happy for Caputo - he is so quick and reads other players well for a 33 year old. Also berrardi call up has been long overdue. im glad that mancini is not like former coaches who always prefer old trusted players only.

mancini is open to everyone and he is not holding out on anyone. and ye sassuolo has done well its an example, and its good for italian football because mancini has so many choices now to strengthen national team

like Van Gaal i think said recently Italy doesnt play like italy anymore they play more like dutch style football
“For the first time, I really loved watching an Italian team play, because in the past Italian football was known primarily for being defensive,”


---------------------------------

this is going to be even better for italy in coming years because all the young players all over the pitch are technically sound that is something i have not seen since... 94' world cup

Mancini's Italia have always been this aesthetically pleasing.

Mancio has a whole has been very open minded and progressive in his thinking and football as a whole since joining.

My only gripe is he has yet to find a team as its nice he gives a chance to others but they really don't matter given a lot of them will not perform when it comes to the bigger stage.

He needs to find a set starting XI and go with that or come tournaments it will be a total mess.


He has been great for them either way.


Class act to give El Shaarawy the captaincy since he was upset that his Roma move fell through (since like anyone he is miserable in the Chinese league) and the player rewarded him with a lovely brace.

yep i have to say at some point mancini will have to find the best out of the bunch and its going to be tough ; probably some will get upset. i personally feel 4-2-3-1 is the best formation - they absolutely destroyed almost everyone with that not long ago ; the starting XI though like u said has been really not something mancini has settled yet on

indeed good to see el shaarawy back ... this reminds me of that ventura ...dude doesnt want to call up when giovinco was in form of his life! i was so pissed

This was a friendly against Moldova, hence all the rotations. There is a starting 11, or rather a very clear starting 8.

Donnarumma, Chiellini, Bonucci, Verratti, Jorginho, Barella, Chiesa, Insigne

For the remaining positions normally its Florenzi, Spinazzola, Immobile but those are prone to change.

We'll get 11 players available for derby ?

#Inter, positivi anche #Nainggolan e Gagliardini. Ibra ha ancora il coronavirus https://t.co/8uxTbFo699 #serieA

Radu (2nd GK) too

5th Covid case at Inter.

Agnelli calling De Laurentiis "illoyal" is something else, tbh

Matteo Gabbia tested positive for CoviD, tonali test TBA, italy U21 camp is a mess! WHY international break has to go on at this times when even clubs locally are struggling to protect players.

Ibra, Duarte still posiitve, romagnoli injury is gone and just started personalized training he may not make it in time, gabbia out, mussachio still injury, milan has no defense except kjaer at this time

The current schedule of international breaks is obsolete... breaks the tempo of the season 3-4 times in autumn. Crap. The genius on FIFA's board should think of something else.

i agree - given the circumstances and also rise in coronavirus again in europe and all over the world, i expected int sporting body to be more rational - it really doesnt make sense for players to go international break at this time. also some of them are in bubble to maintain fiduciary isolation because someone else got it and now everyone in the team is back to square one

Organization is not good.

I have a feeling it will all go to shit sooner or later.

If the authorities suspend the derby because of the amount of players that cant play, I will be fucking fuming, especially with the whole Napoli debacle last week, we'll see how some posters here react, I assume some would be delighted...seeing as how some key players can't play..

GdS: Ibra will have to undergo medical examination required by federal protocol in a specialized clinic. Then, he'll be able to train at Milanello in the afternoon alone since the team has a morning session. Otherwise, he'll join his teammates for tomorrow morning's training. pic.twitter.com/MM2pt7cylR

There's so much paranoia and bureaucratic shit surrounding the derby, I don't see any other precautions and considerations in any other games

If next week Dybala, Ronaldo and Chiellini are out because of Covid, it does not matter, Juve must play the match until we cannot field 11 players anymore. This includes the U23 guys and primavera. If nobody is available then we forfeit.

If Juve is about leave the Turin region, is told by health ministry not to travel or everyone will go in jail for 20 years, we cannot show up so it's a loss by default. Then it's allowed to give FIGC arguments that prove whether or not it's reasonable to free the 3 pts and replay the match.

This is the fairest solution. Same logic should apply to every club. Anything else they might as well interrupt.

Well you' d be furious because it's the greatest chance ever to break the derby curse after 4 year , given that Inter will have not their defence.
you d not think same thing  if Milan were on Inter situation.
So everyone look to own advantage.
Moreover a  thing is 1 or 2 players , another thing are many players. it's a outbreak in the 2nd situation , and football doesn't become the most important thing there.
Anyway it's going to be played , it can be postoponed just if 10 players are positive.

5 , 6, 7 , 8 , 9 is ok , 10 not.

Basically health is just a numerical issue

Honestly who likes following this football ?

there is a football before covid, a football after lockdown , and the  football now.

football after lockdown , after  3 months of war bulletins ,it sounded as  blessing,  we missed it ,we needed of it.

football now ... players tested positive for covid , teams that  don't show up, sudden outbreaks, it is objectively a farce, a circus, a bad taste joke.

Not to mention no fans allowed.

It's ruining a lot of matches and entertainment in general.

Home and away makes little difference now.

Ashley Young : 6th Inter player tested positive for covid.

Every club has agreed to the rules IMO and it's illoyal now from you to demand a postponement
