Inter Milan team news
Inter has received a boost in the midfield with Nicolò Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu returning to full training after injuries. Both are expected to rejoin the squad for the Derby d’Italia.
Barella is more likely than Çalhanoğlu to start, as Cristian Chivu aims to strengthen his midfield ahead of an important Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt next week.
Denzel Dumfries has started partial training after ankle surgery but is not yet match-ready and is expected to be on the bench at best.
Chivu has acknowledged Juventus’ progress under Luciano Spalletti and emphasized that Inter must show the same determination they have displayed in the past two months while keeping their composure during the intense Derby d’Italia.
Juventus team news
Juventus will be without centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic, who has been out since late November due to injury. Reports confirm he remains unavailable.
Arkadiusz Milik is also still sidelined, leaving David as the main attacking option for the match against Inter.
Kephren Thuram is doubtful but might still be in the squad. With a Champions League match against Galatasaray coming up shortly after, some rotation in the attacking midfield could occur.
Form
Inter Milan
Chivu’s team heads into this match with five consecutive league victories: 1–0 against Lecce, 1–0 at Udinese, 6–2 versus Pisa, 2–0 at Cremonese, and an impressive 5–0 win at Sassuolo, netting 15 goals and conceding only two during this stretch.
Juventus
In their last five Serie A matches, Juventus has secured 10 points, with a 5–0 win over Cremonese, a 1–0 loss to Cagliari, a 3–0 win over Napoli at home, a 4–1 victory at Parma, and a 2–2 draw with Lazio.
