Inter effectively have no midfield. Yep, every single one of them but Dacourt and a primavera player is injured. Fiorentina could probably use this game as a rest for some of their starting 11 and it still wouldn't matter. There is talk of Chivu in the midfield. I am beginning to loose hope.

Terrible precedent, at least Pazzini/Osvaldo/Jovetic will be fired up, knowing one of them could be a hero. Who would have guessed such a thing would happen before the Inter game?
