At the start of the international break, Inter are dealing with a busy treatment room, with Cristian Chivu closely monitoring the recovery of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Ange-Yoan Bonny, John Stones, Curtis Jones and Aleksandar Stanković.
Lautaro nears comeback, targeting Atalanta on 22 November
Since 13 October, the night of the home defeat to Bruges, Lautaro Martinez has been out with discomfort in his left thigh flexors. His recovery from that issue is described as nearly complete, and Cristian Chivu could include him in the squad for Inter's first match after the break, against Atalanta on 22 November.
Thuram and Bonny muscle issues and return windows
During Sunday's win over Como, Marcus Thuram felt discomfort in his right biceps femoris and will miss his national team's upcoming matches, including Thursday's game against Italy at the Meazza. Inter's medical staff initially believe Marcus Thuram's issue is simply muscle fatigue. He will try to recover in time to face Atalanta on 22 November or Stuttgart in the Champions League, and otherwise he should be back for the match against Genoa on 28 November.
Ange-Yoan Bonny suffered an injury to his right thigh flexor, which he picked up late in Inter-Como, and is expected to be out for a month. His return is anticipated for Inter-Torino on 13 December or Lecce-Inter on 18 December.
Stanković injured in national team training
Training with the Serbian national team on Monday, Aleksandar Stanković suffered a muscle injury and will be out for around a month. His possible return is put at Inter-Torino on 13 December or Lecce-Inter on 18 December.
Stones and Jones expected back on 22 November
John Stones is recovering from an earlier injury and should be available again immediately after the break, on 22 November.
Curtis Jones is also recovering from an earlier injury and should be available again on 22 November. Inter announced on 8 October that Curtis Jones was suffering from myofascial discomfort in his right thigh adductors, and he has now almost completely recovered from that problem.
