Injury Report
Inter
Simone Inzaghi and his side, who are currently 3rd on the table, will be hampered in their bid for a Champions League place with several injuries.
Long-term injury case, left-back Dalbert, continues his recovery and rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury. He will not be available for the visit of Fiorentina on Saturday.
Inter will also be without center-back Alessandro Bastoni; the 23-year-old defender is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Bastoni is expected to be back by March 30, 2023; however, the match might come too soon for the defender to participate.
Center-back Milan Skriniar is also a doubt for the clash against Fiorentina at the San Siro. The 25-year-old defender has been dealing with back trouble since March 16, 2023, which has forced him to miss one match already for Inter. No return date has been set by the club.
Inzaghi will also have to do without left-back Federico Dimarco, who has been nursing an abdominal muscle injury since March 19, 2023. No return date has been set for the 25-year-old fullback.
Fiorentina
Vincenzo Italiano and his Fiorentina side have been in a good run of form ahead of the visit to the San Siro on Saturday. However, they will face challenges as they deal with two major injuries.
Left-back Aleksa Terzic is unlikely to be fit in time to face Inter Milan on Saturday. The 23-year-old fullback is nursing a tear in the abductor muscle that has kept him out of action since February 27, 2023. Aleksa has missed 6 matches for Inter so far this season.
Luka Jovic is also a major doubt for Fiorentina ahead of the clash in Milan. The 25-year-old striker is dealing with an inflammation that has kept him out of one match so far since March 18, 2023. The striker will be working to be fit for the match, but he is a doubt in a potential blow for Fiorentina.

Inter

Prediction
After the contentious 1-0 defeat at home to Juventus right before the international break, Inter will be looking to bounce back to winning form when they face Fiorentina on Saturday.
The San Siro side will look to dominate the ball, control the tempo, and have the territorial advantage of using their wingbacks to overload either wing. They will look to attack with pace and create chances down wide areas and through the middle.
Fiorentina will also look to be dominant and proactive in their approach. They keep a tidy amount of possession and look to use it to create chances.
Inter is the favorite to win this match and take all three points.
