According to foreign media reports, Inter Milan centre-back Bastoni's ankle injury recovery is progressing smoothly and is expected to play next week's Champions League match against Liverpool.
In the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, Bastos was injured against Roma and was replaced by DeVry.
The Nerazzurri then confirmed that the 22-year-old Inter centre-back had a sprained right ankle. Some speculate that Bastoni will most likely miss the Champions League game at home against Liverpool.
But the latest reports give the progress of the player's injuries. Inter centre-back Bastoni felt much better from the injury and could hardly feel pain. In this case, Bastoni is hopeful that he will return to the game next week against the Premier League powerhouses.
Nevertheless, Bastoni will also miss the 25th round of Serie A, inter's away match against Napoli.
Bastoni was suspended for two Serie A matches after the Milan derby. Inter management is appealing the matter. Team manager Inzaghi will replace the No. 95 player with D'Ambrosio or Di Marco.
In addition, head coach Inzaghi will not appear on the sideline of the stadium against Napoli, as he is also suspended for one game.
