Federico Dimarco - Creates pair of chances Dimarco generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Verona.

Impact Dimarco created two chances for the second straight match, moving to 31 on the season. The winger has been excellent on the left side of the pitch even if he has just one assist in 18 league appearances. Dimarco will remain a strong floor option in all formats moving forward.

Edin Dzeko - Two shots Saturday Dzeko had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Verona.

Impact Dzeko shot twice but was largely contained during a narrow Saturday win. The striker has scored seven times and added two assists in the 2022/23 campaign, though he has scored just once after the World Cup break. Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez form one of the most dangerous strike pairings in Italy.

Lautaro Martinez - Nets in win Martinez scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win over Verona.

Impact Martinez scored his ninth goal of the season on the way to a narrow win Saturday. The striker has scored twice in his last two matches and looks to be competing near the top of the golden boot race in Italy once more, building off a 21-goal showing in 2021/22.

Nicolo Barella - Available against Verona Barella (thigh) is part of the squad list to face Verona Saturday, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Barella has recovered enough to be an option, but the outlet suggests that he's likely to come off the bench since he's not 100 percent. Roberto Gagliarini would draw a rare start if that were the case.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Romelu Lukaku - Ruled out for Verona game Lukaku (knee) hasn't been called up for Saturday's match versus Verona, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Impact Lukaku will miss the second consecutive game due to sore tendon in his knee/thigh. Lautaro Martinez, Edin Dzeko, and Joaquin Correa will once again be the top offensive weapons.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcelo Brozovic - Needs more time Brozovic (calf) will remain unavailable for Saturday's match against Verona, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Brozovic will sit out the third game in a row due to another thigh problem, but the club is holding out some hope he'll be available versus Milan in the Supercoppa next Wednesday. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the only regular fully healthy, while Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are question marks.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hakan Calhanoglu - Probable for Verona game Calhanoglu (thigh) has recovered quickly and has a shot to be in the XI for Saturday's match against Verona, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Calhanoglu has progressed nicely in practice and would get the nod if close to 100 percent and not at risk of worsening the situation. Otherwise, the coach would turn to Kristjan Asllani, Roberto Gagliardini, or both, since Nicolo Barella is questionable as well. He has posted two chances created, eight crosses (one accurate), seven corners, and two tackles in the last two matches.

Nicolo Barella - Not dealing with significant injury Barella (thigh) will sit out Tuesday's cup game against Parma and will be in doubt for Saturday's match with Verona, but he's expected to be ready for next week's Supercoppa agains...

Impact Barella might not be involved in the next Serie A fixture, but he escaped without strains or pulls that would have knocked him out for some time right away. Roberto Gagliardini would replace him if he couldn't play against Verona.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hakan Calhanoglu - Avoids major problems Calhanoglu underwent tests for a sore psoas muscle, which ruled out strains, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Calhanoglu left the last game early and will miss Tuesday's Coppa Italia match versus Parma, but he has a shot to play Saturday against Verona or next week versus Milan at the latest. Kristjan Asllani would fill in if he couldn't go over the weekend.

Edin Dzeko - Silent in Monza clash Dzeko (thigh) committed two fouls, had seven passes and failed to take a shot in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Monza.

Impact Dzeko stayed in the lineup after cramping up in the previous match, but he was significantly worse than in his recent showings. With Romelu Lukaku (knee) hurt again, he'll likely start in Saturday's home game versus Verona. He has logged four goals, one assist, nine shots (four on target), and two chances created in the last four games.

Samir Handanovic - Suffers calf injury Handanovic sustained a soleus muscle problem in the left calf, Inter announced.

Impact Handanovic has been labeled as day-to-day and will likely have to miss at least one game. The issue will prevent him from starting in the midweek Coppa Italia game versus Parma. Andre Onana has been the clear starter for a few months at this point.

Romelu Lukaku - Picks up knee issue Lukaku will miss Tuesday's Coppa Italia fixture versus Parma due to knee soreness, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Lukaku isn't dealing with a severe issue, but he'll be assessed throughout the week to determine whether he can play Saturday against Verona. Inter will face Milan in the Supercoppa next week, so they might want him fresh and ready for that occasion. Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez will likely get the nod over the weekend, even if Lukaku manages to be available.

Impact Darmian found the back of the net in the 10th minute opening the scoring in the match. The goal was the first in 12 appearances for the wing-back as he led Inter in both tackles and interceptions in the match. Darmian will likely soon fade back into his reserve role as a capable backup on either flank for Inter.

Edin Dzeko - Fit for Monza match Dzeko (thigh) will be available and should start in Saturday's fixture against Monza, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Dzeko left the last game a little early, but just because of fatigue. Two among him, Romelu Lukaku, and Lautaro Martinez will get the nod Saturday, and he was the most effective in the recent clash with Napoli, which he decided with a great header.

Stefan De Vrij - Unused versus Napoli De Vrij (ankle) didn't play in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Napoli.

Impact De Vrij was available following a bruise, but the coach picked Francesco Acerbi, who was more fit. The two have routinely split time in the first half of the season, and he may make the XI for Saturday's match against Monza.
