The break has helped Internazionale, as the team can finally recover its last few injured players, Lautaro and Luis Henrique, before resuming against Atalanta. In fact, Corriere dello Sport wrote: "Internazionale has concluded a grueling schedule of 9 matches in 30 days, with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. The only blemishes were Club Brugge and the derby.
However, the biggest loss was to the Belgian team, as that defeat made direct qualification for the Champions League Round of 16 extremely difficult. The pursuit of the top eight will continue after the break, first at San Siro against Stuttgart. The league appetizer will be an away match against Atalanta."
For the first or, at the latest, the second match, Cristian Chivu hopes Lautaro can return to the squad. Lautaro is using this break to continue his recovery after being injured in the match against Club Brugge. Luis Henrique will also return with him; he is another player in Internazionale's infirmary. Curtis Jones and Stones have already returned, both sitting on the bench against Como.
