Inter Milan missing key player for Liverpool match but two stars make injury return

Inter Milan will have a pretty much fully fit squad to face Liverpool this evening.

The Reds take on the Serie A outfit in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield tonight.

Jurgen Klopp’s side already have a 2-0 lead from the first leg, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on target at the San Siro.

For Liverpool, they have been handed a boost in training this week with three players seemingly returning to full fitness.

Thiago Alcantara, Firmino and Joel Matip have all taken part in full training this week, and will be in contention to feature against Inter.

Inter will also be at near full strength when they arrive on Merseyside, as confirmed by their manager Simone Inzaghi.

The Inter boss said that the only absentees from his squad are Nicolo Barella, who is suspended, and Aleksandar Kolarov who isn’t even in their Champions League squad.

“Tomorrow everyone is called up except Barella who is suspended, and Kolarov who is out of the squad list,” Inzaghi is quoted saying in his press conference, via FC Inter News .

It would appear that Joaquin Correa and Robin Gosens are back fit and available to face Liverpool this evening.

Correa missed the first leg due to a hamstring injury, while Gosens has just recovered from a thigh problem.

The pair are relatively new additions to Inter’s squad, with Correa arriving from Lazio last summer and Gosens joining from Atalanta in January.
