Inter hope for triple injury return for Barcelona

According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Simone Inzaghi is hoping to have Denzel Dumfries, Piotr Zielinski and Marcus Thuram back and available in time to face Barcelona in Catalonia on Wednesday night.

There is even a chance that one or two of them could make the squad for Inter’s upcoming Serie A match against Roma on Sunday, which could be a necessity given that Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be unavailable through injury.
