Stones back in contention to start at Atalanta for Inter
The Englishman has recovered from the physical problem that forced him off against Udinese and is pushing for a start against Sarri's Atalanta.
Inter get a welcome boost: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, John Stones is fit again after the physical problem that forced him off in his first start, against Udinese. The Englishman is now pushing to start at Bergamo against Atalanta.
Sarri's side arrive with Nikola Krstovic in great form, so the trip will not be easy for the nerazzurri.
The longer-term issue is squad depth. Inter need another centre-back before the January window, and the hope is that Stones can fill that role. But if his body lets him down again over a long spell, the club would almost be forced to bring in another defender. For squad registration reasons, Chivu would then have to leave a player out.
