Inter Lose John Stones for Roma Trip After Left-Thigh Problem
Inter will travel to Roma without John Stones after tests confirmed discomfort in the flexor muscles of his left thigh, removing the English defender from the immediate rhythm of the Serie A campaign.
Stones left the pitch in the 62nd minute of Monday’s match against Udinese, and underwent instrumental examinations on Tuesday morning at the Humanitas clinic in Rozzano. The assessment has clarified the nature of the issue, though Inter have not set a precise recovery date.
The club said his condition will be reviewed again over the coming days. What is already clear is that Stones will miss the away fixture against Roma and is not expected to return before the extended international break.
For Inter, it is an unwelcome absence at a point when every league weekend begins to shape the wider season. The trip to the capital will demand a defensive adjustment, while Stones’ recovery will be monitored with the aim of having him available once domestic football resumes after the break.
