Romero is out for Inter, and Vitão is doubtful against Sport

The 3-1 defeat to Mirassol last Wednesday (15) brought new concerns for Internacional. In addition to the poor performance on the field, the club will have problems choosing the team next Sunday (19). Midfielder Romero received his third yellow card and will be a certain absence. In addition to him, defender Vitão left the field with a muscle problem and is doubtful for the match against Sport , at Beira-Rio, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The Paraguayan player was booked 15 minutes into the first half after committing a foul on Negueba. His absence, however, was somewhat expected by the coaching staff. This is because the club will be counting on the return of Carbonero, who was on international duty with Colombia during the FIFA World Cup. Therefore, the striker should naturally regain his starting spot on the left wing. Another returning attacking option is Alan Benítez, who will be an alternative on the bench.

Vitão's situation, in turn, inspires a bit more caution, although the club is optimistic. The defender felt a problem in his adductor muscle and was substituted to avoid further strain. Assistant coach Emiliano Díaz downplayed the issue in an interview.

"I felt a little pain in my adductor, which is nothing serious," he said.

The medical department will reevaluate the defender, as well as goalkeeper Ronaldo, with knee discomfort, and midfielder Richard, with hip pain. Rochet, Juninho, and Luis Otávio remain out.

With the negative result in the interior of São Paulo, Inter remains stuck in 15th place in the standings with 32 points. The Colorado team now turns its attention to trying to recover in front of its home fans.

Finally, the club urgently needs a positive result to move away from the bottom of the standings. The match against Sport takes place on Sunday (19), at 6:30 pm, at the Beira-Rio stadium, and is seen as crucial for the team's ambitions in the final stretch of the competition.
