DeutschReport – Inter Milan Receive Major Fitness Boost Ahead Of Milan Derby: French Striker Recovers From Calf Injury
Inter Milan striker Ange-Yoan Bonny has reportedly recovered from the upcoming Serie A clash against AC Milan.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu expects the Frenchman to resume training tomorrow.
Ange-Yoan Bonny suffered a minor fitness issue in a 2-0 home win over Genoa last weekend.
Therefore, Chivu was unable to call upon the 22-year-old for Tuesday’s dull 0-0 draw against Como in the Coppa Italia.
However, the former Parma starlet will be available for Sunday’s mouth-watering showdown at San Siro.

With Lautaro Martinez still working on his recovery, Chivu finds himself strapped for options in attack.
Indeed, Marcus Thuram has been out of form in 2026, while Francesco Pio Esposito has only scored four times in 25 league games.
Meanwhile, despite often starting on the bench, Bonny has tallied five goals and four assists in 22 Serie A outings.
Deco has preferred option for Barcelona centre-back hunt
Barcelona have two priorities for the summer transfer window, and one of them is a central defender. Despite Director of Football Deco declaring that they had one too many at the position last summer, it seems they will look to make an addition at the position this summer to cover the loss of Inigo Martinez.
It seems Andreas Christensen will be offered a new deal to extend his contract for next season, despite having played just 23 matches in the last two seasons. Meanwhile Ronald Araujo has started just once since November following his mental health break, and Gerard Martin has been required to cover in central defence, leaving a very different picture to the one Barcelona started the season with.
Nathan Ake is preferred option for Deco
In the January transfer window, Barcelona were also linked with a move for a central defender, which was believed to be the priority before the arrival of Joao Cancelo. One the names that featured prominently in those links is Manchester City defender Nathan Ake. The Dutch international was in search of more game time, but after an injury crisis for Pep Guardiola, has started to feature more often. Catalunya Radio say that Deco is most keen on signing Ake in the summer though, as things stand.

Motives behind Ake interest
With a centre-forward the other priority on the agenda, that is expected to absorb most of Barcelona’s resources in terms of what they can spend this summer. As such, preferred options such as Josko Gvardiol and Alessandro Bastoni are financially out of reach. Ake has one year remaining on his deal this summer, and could be available for a cheaper deal as a result.
The 31-year-old is experienced at the top level, and can also play at left-back, factors that make him Deco’s preferred option.

Athletics GM: We’re always open to Kyler Murray exploring a return to baseball
Kyler Murray was the ninth overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft in 2018, signed a contract with the Athletics that year, and planned to pursue a professional baseball career after one final season of college football. Then Murray won the Heisman Trophy in his final season, was the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, and decided to pursue football instead.
Now Murray has been told the Cardinals plan to cut him, and the Athletics have let him know he'd be welcome to play baseball again.
"Kyler is an elite NFL quarterback and I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities for him to continue his football career,” Athletics General Manager David Forst told MLB.com. “That said, he and his baseball representatives know that we’re always open to him exploring a return to baseball with the A’s if that time ever comes.”
It's unlikely that Murray will change sports at age 28, but he's talented enough that if he wanted to do it, there's a real chance he could make the major leagues. And he's already got a team that would love to see him give it a try.
