Radja Nainggolan and Roberto Gagliardini follows Bastoni and Skriniar in being Positive for the Corona Virus

DBasia.news – Inter Milan continues to be attacked by the corona virus. After previously Alessandro Bastoni and Milan Skriniar tested positive, now Sky Sports reports that Radja Nainggolan and Roberto Gagliardini are positive for the corona virus.

Previously, Inter issued a statement that Alessandro Bastoni was positive for the corona virus. In addition, the Slovak football federation also announced that Milan Skriniar was positive for the virus.

“The corona virus test for Milan Skriniar is positive. Therefore, the Slovak team and football association have implemented the protocol as recommended by UEFA. The player is in individual quarantine and has no problems. He is feeling well and will undergo another test in the coming days,” wrote the official statement of the Slovak national team.

After the two players, Inter Milan continued to receive unfortunate news. This time, two Inter midfielders, Radja Nainggolan and Roberto Gagliardini have tested positive for the corona virus.

As a result, the four players risk not being able to appear against AC Milan in the Madonnina derby at the Giuseppe Meazza, Saturday (17/10). Now, Antonio Conte needs to think harder.

Losing Bastoni and Skriniar have presented problems at the back.  As both of them are core players with Stefan de Vrij.

Meanwhile, should Gagliardini and Nainggolan be absent, the squad depth in Inter’s midfield has waned. The reason is, La Beneamata are also unable to play Stefano Sensi who received a red card against Lazio.

From the opposing camp, AC Milan also has players who are positive for the virus. Until now, Leo Duarte and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have still tested positive for the corona virus. The two players are doubtful to appear in the derby match.

Calciomercato predicts that the corona virus attack on Inter and AC Milan will not affect the postponement of the derby match. As based on the rules, the match must continue if at least 13 players, including the goalkeeper, are available.

In addition, the local health department showed no signs of intervening to postpone the match. So, the Juventus vs Napoli match will not happen in the Madonnina derby.
