Bad news for Inter and especially for Antonio Conte, who will lose his favorite soldier in the definition of the group stage of the Champions League. Is about Arturo vidal, who will be out in tomorrow’s meeting between Inter de Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk.
This was confirmed by the Nerazzurri coach in dialogue with Redgol at the press conference prior to the clash on Wednesday at the Giuseppe Meazza. “Arturo is not available for tomorrow. In midfield there is no place to allow us a long injury,” he lamented.
Vidal came out with a blow to his calf in Inter’s last match against Bologna for the Italian league, which he failed to recover in time from the clash scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Against Borussia (Mönchengladbach) we won without Arturo Vidal. We do not have to look for excuses with absences. Risking it means that we would have to think about a risk of a longer recovery time,” explained the coach.
In this way, Alexis Sánchez will be the only Chilean representative in the match against the Ukrainian champions, who will define all of Inter’s international participation for the remainder of the season.
Inter will advance to the round of 16 only if they win against the Slavs and if Real Madrid and Borussia Mönchengladbach do not draw in the duel that will be played simultaneously.

What will ensure the victory is qualification for the Europa League in third place in the group. The draw and defeat will see the Lombard side automatically eliminated from international competitions in 2020/21.
Looking ahead to tomorrow’s clash, Inter’s tentative formation goes with Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni; Achraf Hakimi, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini and Ashley Young; Stefano Sensi; Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martínez.
