Inter Milan have received a timely fitness boost ahead of Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como, with Yann Bisseck returning to full group training after missing the last several fixtures through injury.
According to Sky Sport, via FCInterNews, the Germany defender has fully recovered from the minor muscle strain in his right thigh.
Indeed, the one that kept him sidelined after the international break.
His return to the group puts him in contention for a role in the crucial run-in.
However, the news is more mixed on two other fronts.
Inter Boost As Bisseck Returns For Como Showdown
Alessandro Bastoni continued to train individually today.
Indeed, still managing the ankle problem that has given him grief since the derby.
His return to the group is being delayed to ensure he is fully fit before being risked again.
Furthermore, Lautaro Martinez also trained apart from the main group as he continues his recovery programme.
Therefore, the Coppa Italia semi-final against Como is likely to arrive without both Bastoni and Lautaro.
Although Bisseck’s return at least gives Chivu an additional option at the back for a match Inter are determined to win in order to reach the final.
Inter have managed well in his absence.
Chivu has called on Brazilian Carlos Augusto and expiring veterans Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij.
