Milan Derby Is Getting Closer, Simone Inzaghi Is Positive For COVID-19

JAKARTA - Bad news emerged from the Inter Milan camp ahead of the match against AC Milan in the 24th week of the 2021/2022 Italian League. The coach, Simone Inzaghi, tested positive for COVID-19.

Quoted from Inter Milan's official website, Tuesday, Simone had undergone an examination and found positive results. Due to this situation, he must undergo self-isolation according to health protocols.

"FC Internazionale Milano today confirms that Simone Inzaghi's test result has been positive for COVID-19. The coach (Simone Inzaghi) will now follow the protocols specified in the health care guidelines," reads Inter's official website.

After reporting the condition of the coach, the club hopes that Inzaghi can recover quickly. Because on Sunday, February 6, they have been waiting for a game full of prestige.

Inter Milan will play Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan. In such an important and prestigious match, the Nerrazzuri clearly need the figure of Inzaghi on the side of the field.

However, if Inzaghi's test results are still positive before the match, Inzaghi's vacant position will be filled by the assistant coach. This situation has recently become commonplace in the midst of the COVID-19 attack which continues to increase.

Apart from Inzaghi's condition, the match between Inter and Milan in Week 24 is also very important for each team. Because the three full points will be their main concentration.

For Inter, the points will further strengthen them at the top of the standings. Meanwhile for Milan, full points will help them push up from their current position in third.
