It is alarm in the Nerazzurri house for the stops of the blue and orange defender. Improvements are expected from the Bosnian striker, who could return early in Appiano. And on Sunday, Napoli arrives …
The countdown to the super-match against Napoli, on Sunday at San Siro, continues to reserve unexpected daily newspapers at the Nerazzurri, the kind that fuel alarms and apprehension. All the fault of the infamous “Fifa virus”, which is raging with particular insistence on the Nerazzurri engaged around the world to compete for qualification for Qatar 2022. From Dzeko, who already showed up in the withdrawal of Bosnia and forced to forfeit in the crucial challenge yesterday against Finland, up to De Vrij, knocked out by a muscle problem a few moments before the final whistle of the match between the Netherlands and Montenegro, Inzaghi’s headaches multiply. The next 72 hours will be decisive for assessing the conditions of all the injured, including Bastoni: the defender has already left the Azzurri retreat due to an adductor problem that drags on from the derby, but there is still uncertainty about recovery times .
Wired defense

Inzaghi’s main concerns are concentrated in defense, because it is still not possible to make predictions on the two injured: on Bastoni we will know more between tomorrow and Tuesday, when he will return to Appiano to undergo new tests and start the appropriate therapies to try to recover. in time for Sunday’s super-challenge. The fact that he was forced to abandon the retirement of the national team despite the last decisive match in Northern Ireland is not a comforting sign, but at the Nerazzurri home predictions are avoided. On De Vrij, for whom De Telegraaf hypothesizes a problem in the hamstring of the right thigh, the results of the first instrumental tests scheduled for today in the Dutch retreat are expected. For the central player of Inzaghi, fundamental pivot of the Nerazzurri rearguard, there is a fear of a stretch (which could mean a 2-3 week stop). Should Bastoni not recover by Sunday and the fears about the Dutchman were also confirmed, the Nerazzurri coach would have to rely on Ranocchia and Dimarco, respectively in the center and on the left. The other alternatives available to Inzaghi, in case of emergency, respond to the names of D’Ambrosio and Darmian.
Cautious optimism

But Inzaghi’s doubts go further. In fact, there is also uncertainty about Dzeko’s conditions, still struggling with resentment against the flexor accused during the derby. The striker had to watch from the stands his Bosnia’s defeat against Finland, at the same time saying goodbye to the last hopes of world qualification. Considering the futility of the next match against Ukraine, the Bosnian could also decide to return early to Appiano to continue the differentiated work in view of a recovery on which, however, cautious optimism reigns in view of Sunday. No worries instead for Vidal, forced to leave early during the match between Paraguay and Chile due to a blow to the foot: the Chilean immediately disposed of making himself available for the crucial challenge on Tuesday night between Roja and Ecuador.
