Inter Milan will miss the services of their midfielder Nicolo Barella (28 years old) in the crucial encounter against Germany's Borussia Dortmund, scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, as part of the UEFA Champions League competition.

Reports have confirmed that Barella's absence is due to muscle fatigue, prompting the coaching staff to decide against risking the player to prevent exacerbating the injury at this critical point in the season.

Barella is considered one of the key pillars in Inter's lineup, given his pivotal role in linking defense and attack, his ability to press, and playmaking, making his absence a clear technical loss for the Italian team.

The coach is expected to rely on a replacement from this season's signings in the midfield to compensate for the absence of the Italian international, in a match that cannot be divided, as Inter seeks to achieve a positive result to enhance their chances in the continental competition.
