Inter Milan vs Liverpool Injuries

Now we look at the players who could miss the Inter Milan vs Liverpool clash because of injury troubles. Cristian Chivu is still without his two reliable defenders in Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian, who still need more time to recover from their muscle injuries.

Arne Slot is still without his 2025 summer signing, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, who are struggling with injury problems, and Stefan Bajcetic is also unavailable right now. There are also questions around Mo Salah's future after his stunning rant at the club recently.

Inter Milan vs Liverpool Prediction

Knowing how huge three points can be for both teams' chances of securing a top-8 spot in the Champions League standings, this should prove to be a really action-packed match! Inter definitely has the momentum behind them with three big wins, while Liverpool are in need of some special inspiration from their players to be able to defeat the Italian side.

This match should be packed with dramatic moments and entertainment value, with both sides likely to go at each other for multiple goals. However, Inter's heightened confidence levels and Liverpool's demoralised mood should help the Italian giants get their win.
