Inter Milan will be without Matteo Darmian and Ange-Yoan Bonny against Bologna, despite both players being close to a return from injury.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Darmian and Bonny are in good condition and have completed key steps in their recovery.
However, Cristian Chivu has ruled out calling either up for Sunday’s Serie A match against Bologna.
Instead, Inter are targeting full availability for Wednesday’s trip to Parma.
Chivu plans to field his strongest possible XI at San Siro, moving away from the more experimental line-up seen in Riyadh.

Hakan Calhanoglu features in the starting line-up after missing the Saudi trip due to fitness concerns.
The attacking partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram is also expected to be restored.
In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan currently has a slight edge over Piotr Zielinski. On the right flank, Luis Henrique is in line to start for the eighth consecutive match.
There is also positive news in defence. Francesco Acerbi has returned to group training and is now considered available for selection.
Therefore, offering Chivu additional depth at the back.
Probable Inter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram.
