Francesco Acerbi - Unused sub against Bologna Acerbi (thigh) wasn't fielded during Sunday's 3-1 victory over Bologna.

Impact Acerbi returned to the bench after skipping two contests, but the gaffer continued to roll with Manuel Akanji and Yann Aurell Bisseck, which might be the go-to configuration going forward, although Acerbi and Stefan De Vrij should still get some chances because of the packed schedule.

Andy Diouf - Unavailable against Bologna Diouf is a late scratch for Sunday's match versus Bologna due to muscle fatigue, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Diouf will watch the game from the stands and will be re-evaluated before Wednesday's fixture against Parma. He has logged limited minutes off the bench in five of the last six contests. Carlos Augusto, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi will pick up the slack.

Francesco Acerbi - Bench option Sunday Acerbi (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's meeting with Bologna.

Impact Acerbi may see limited minutes on the field before returning to contention for a starting spot with Yann Aurel Bisseck and Stefan De Vrij. The experienced center-back will be reliable for defensive production if he plays, having averaged 5.3 clearances and 1.4 interceptions per game this season, considering Serie A and UCL action.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Darmian - Not far off from returning Darmian (calf) has started ramping up and should be available against either Parma or Napoli, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

Impact Darmian will remain sidelined versus Bologna this week, but is close to being cleared after tending to a calf strain for months. He'll deputize Luis Henrique on the right flank once he's fit.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Francesco Acerbi - Primed to be back versus Bologna Acerbi (thigh) reprised practicing with the group Monday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Acerbi has recovered from a thigh injury that sidelined him for two matches and will resume alternating with Yann Aurel Bisseck and Stefan De Vrij in the middle of the defense. He has started in five of six matches before getting hurt, registering 27 clearances, seven interceptions and two blocks and contributing to clean sheets.

Francesco Pio Esposito - Assists off bench in win Esposito assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Atalanta.

Impact Esposito stole the ball following an opposing defender's weak pass and set up Lautaro Martinez in the 65th minute of the weekend's contest. The backup forward raised his season tally to four assists across all competitions, though the last time he scored was in a Coppa Italia match during early December. The assist may help him push for more playing time, which he's most likely to get as Marcus Thuram's substitute, perhaps earning some starts when there's rotation in busy periods.

Lautaro Martinez - Scores winner against Atalanta Martinez scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Atalanta.

Impact Martinez was where he needed to be to take advantage of Francesco Pio Esposito's pass and give his team the victory with a left-footed strike in the 65th minute of the game. After securing his ninth goal of the current season, the star striker pulled away from Christian Pulisic in the race for the Serie A scoring lead. Considering all competitions, Martinez scored 13 goals and three assists for Inter during the second half of the calendar year while remaining a key player for both the club and the Argentinian national team.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Thuram - Unsuccessful in win Thuram recorded one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Atalanta.

Impact Thuram saw his lone goal cancelled by VAR review in his return to the initial lineup against Atalanta. He extended a run of three games without a goal or assist but recorded at least one shot for the eighth time in nine matches played since recovering from a thigh injury. While he remains one of the Nerazzurri's most capable forwards, his starting spot could be threatened by Sunday's assisting substitute Francesco Pio Esposito if there's rotation in future weeks.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Dimarco - Attempts six crosses Sunday Dimarco registered six crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Atalanta.

Impact Dimarco recorded game-high totals of crosses and chances created across 76 minutes of play before being replaced by Carlos Augusto during the win. The Italian wing-back also continued to share set pieces with Hakan Calhanoglu, which has been the case for the entire campaign so far. Despite being subbed off or rotated in some games, Dimarco holds playmaking upside after racking up 122 crosses (44 accurate), 40 chances created and five assists over 15 league appearances in 2025/26.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Akanji - Tallies four clearances in victory Akanji recorded two shots (zero on goal), four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Atalanta.

Impact Akanji helped his team to keep a clean sheet with a few ball recoveries during Sunday's duel. He also took multiple shots for the first time this season, while adding to his totals of 60 clearances, 15 interceptions and 27 tackles in 20 appearances across all club competitions. The Manchester City loanee has established himself on the right side of a solid three-man back line alongside Alessandro Bastoni and Yann Aurel Bisseck.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yann Sommer - Unbeaten in win over Atalanta Sommer made no saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Atalanta.

Impact Sommer had a quiet night against the home team's misfiring offense, securing his 10th clean sheet of the season in 20 official games. He's in solid form with 11 saves and two goals conceded throughout his last five matchups, including both league and European play. His next chance to show his skills will be a tough challenge versus Bologna's third-ranked attack.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Unused sub in Supercoppa Calhanoglu (thigh) was available but didn't play against Bologna on Friday.

Impact Calhanoglu returned to full training after missing one tilt and was spotted warming up, but the coach erred on the side of caution ahead of the potential final Monday, but Inter were knocked out on PKs. He'll likely replace Piotr Zielinski in the XI versus Atalanta on December 28. He has launched multiple crosses in the last five fixtures during which he has seen substantial minutes, totaling 19 (five accurate), scoring once and adding six key passes, six shots (three on target) and 13 corners over that span.

Alessandro Bastoni - Busy defensively in win Bastoni created one chance and made seven tackles (six won), two clearances and five interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Bastoni didn't have his usual playmaking impact but made up for that with even more defensive input than the one he's used to have, which included season highs in both tackles and interceptions. Defensive numbers are generally nice for the center-back but what makes him an intriguing and unique fantasy asset is his ability to help on the build up of plays, something clearly demonstrated with his four assists and 22 chances created over 19 appearances in all competitions this season.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Barella - Creates nine chances in win Barella created nine chances, sent in six crosses (four accurate), made two tackles (both won) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Barella gave a playmaking masterclass here, creating a lot from both open play and set pieces and the most impressive part of it was actually that fact that none of his teammates could converted those chances. This performance put Barella atop all Serie A players with 40 chances created over 15 league appearances but he somehow has just four assists, which limits his fantasy impact.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yann Sommer - Allows one in win Sommer made two saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Sommer looked destined to keep his third consecutive Serie A clean sheet as his team dominated the entire contest but then came Vitinha to ruin his plans by using his speed to beat the entire defense and dribble past the goalkeeper to send the ball into the empty net. Other than that, Sommer showed his usual safety between the posts as he keeps leaving his rocky start of campaign behind. Over the last 10 league starts, he racked up five clean sheets and allowed multiple goals just once.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lautaro Martinez - Scores, assists in win Martinez scored a goal off five shots (four on target) and made an assist during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Martinez was Inter's biggest threat up front as he assisted Yann Aurel Bisseck for the opener with just six minutes into the game and then doubled their lead with a powerful left-footed strike in the 38th minute. The striker could've added even more to his account but faced an inspired goalkeeper that kept things interesting in the contest. That's now four goals over the last three league starts for the striker, who's finally seeing his domestic production matching what he's been doing in UCL.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yann Bisseck - Scores opener in win Bisseck scored a goal off four shots (one on target), made one tackle, six clearances and two interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Bisseck caught everyone by surprise with his clinical left-footed finish that went into the near post for the goal that broke the deadlock with just six minutes into the game, his first of the season, and then turned on a great two-way performance during the rest of the way. Francesco Acerbi (thigh) should remain out for a few weeks so the center-back will still have some more chances to get playing time and show that he can eventually become a first choice at the heart of the defense.
