Inter Milan is managing several player fitness concerns during the international break. Defender John Stones was initially diagnosed with a muscle strain in his left thigh flexors following a match against Udinese, with early reports suggesting an absence of three to four weeks.

As the break continues, the club’s medical staff is performing daily evaluations on Stones and Hakan Calhanoglu, both of whom missed national team call-ups due to muscular issues. Additionally, the club is working toward the return of Djed Spence for the league resumption on October 10.
