According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stones is still recovering from a flexor injury, and his availability for the Parma match remains uncertain.

While Calhanoglu is smiling, the situation for Stones is less optimistic. Among Inter's injured players, the English defender requires the most recovery time. Yesterday, Stones trained individually again, making his participation against Parma highly doubtful. The former Man City defender is recovering from a flexor injury sustained against Udinese, when he was forced off the field after collapsing. The international break was insufficient for him to return to match fitness.

So far, Stones has made four appearances for his new club, including three league matches and one Champions League fixture. Inzaghi has been gradually integrating him to manage the challenging post-World Cup period: playing 15 minutes against Monza, 22 minutes away at Cagliari, and the entire second half at the Bernabéu. Stones then made his first start against Udinese but was substituted in the 62nd minute.

Among the players who participated in international matches, Bastoni has also returned to training. The defender began preparing for the match against Parma alongside Thuram, returning to the Appiano Gentile training ground a few days earlier than the other attacking players, Lautaro and Pinamonti.
