Latest Inter Milan vs AC Milan squad information
The tight schedule forces coach Simone Inzaghi to carefully calculate the rotation of the squad, especially when they still have a match against Roma this weekend and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
Although Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are suspended for Serie A, they are still available for the Coppa Italia. However, Inzaghi will be without Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski through injury, while Marcus Thuram remains a doubt.
In Thuram's absence, Joaquin Correa started alongside captain Lautaro Martinez against Bologna, but Marko Arnautovic and Mehdi Taremi were also options. Lautaro – who missed the first leg – is now just one goal short of becoming only the third player in Inter's history to score 10 goals against Milan in all competitions.
For Milan, Santiago Gimenez has returned to full training and came off the bench against Atalanta. He will likely be on the bench this time, while Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic will compete for a starting spot in the three-man attack that coach Conceicao is using (3-4-3 formation).
Milan are still without Kyle Walker, Emerson Royal and Ruben Loftus-Cheek due to injury, with Alex Jimenez set to continue at right-back.
Inter Milan vs AC Milan latest expected lineup

Latest football commentary Inter Milan vs AC Milan
Inter Milan extended their winless run against AC Milan to four games after being held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, despite dominating their opponents in previous derbies. “Wizard” Mike Maignan put in a superb performance in goal, helping to keep the score level for the Rossoneri.
Despite Tammy Abraham’s cool opener, former Milan man Hakan Calhanoglu equalised with a stunning strike and an emotional celebration against his former club. However, it was captain Maignan who secured a draw for Milan with a series of excellent saves.
Inter now aim to regain the upper hand in the derby and continue their pursuit of the treble: winning Serie A, the Champions League and the Coppa Italia – along with the Club World Cup in the summer.
From January 2023 to April 2024, Inter won 6 consecutive derbies. But this season, Milan responded strongly with 2 wins and 2 draws, making Inter's journey to Rome more difficult.
Inter beat Udinese in the round of 16 and eliminated Inzaghi's former team Lazio to reach the semi-finals. If they win this match, they will almost certainly meet Bologna in the final, who lead Empoli 3-0 in the other semi-final.
However, after knocking out Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League semi-finals, Inter were brought back down to earth with defeat to Bologna last weekend. A last-minute goal left them trailing in the Scudetto race, now level on points with Napoli (71).
Inter's 13-match unbeaten run has also come to an end, and their poor away form will be a concern for Inzaghi. However, they return to the San Siro for a familiar encounter with their city rivals.
As for AC Milan, although they won the Coppa Italia 22 years ago, this is still their only title in nearly half a century. This puts much more pressure on Milan in the upcoming confrontation.
They began their Coppa Italia campaign in the round of 16 with a 6-1 thrashing of Sassuolo, before overcoming Roma thanks to a brace from Abraham – who scored against his parent club.
Despite their slump in Serie A, the Rossoneri picked up their first trophy of the season when they came from behind to beat Inter in the Italian Super Cup – a memorable victory shortly after Sergio Conceicao took charge.
However, that impressive form has not lasted long. Milan now drop to ninth place after a 1-0 home defeat to Atalanta, their fourth defeat in five recent meetings with their Lombardy rivals.
The door to the Champions League is almost closed for Milan, and winning the Coppa Italia is probably the only way for them to return to the European arena next season.
Milan have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 home games, and despite Conceicao switching to a back three, consistency is still lacking.
The 20-point gap between them and Inter in Serie A can be forgotten in the context of the Derby della Madonnina – where anything can happen.
