FC Internazionale Milano v ACF Fiorentina

Curtis Jones has missed Inter's last five matches with an adductor injury and has not played since the September-October international break.

Lautaro Martínez is absent for Inter, and Stefano Pioli says his absence is hurting the team more than anything else; the article does not state the reason or return date.
