Check out today’s most relevant news for Serie A clubs as Sardar Azmoun and Stefan de Vrij return injured from international duty while Rafael Leao rests for Portugal.

All eyes in Italy are on the Acerbi-Juan Jesus row. The Italy international was heard by FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè today and insisted he hadn’t said anything racist to the Napoli defender on Sunday. However, according to Gazzetta, Inter are unhappy with how Acerbi and his agent handled the case, so they could part company with the 36-year-old if he’s found guilty.

In other news, Azmoun sustained an injury while on international duty with Iran’s national team and has told local media that he ‘surely’ suffered a hamstring tendon tear. He is returning to the capital for assessments from the Giallorossi medical staff.

Inter defender De Vrij has already returned to the club’s training centre after suffering a muscle injury while on international duty with the Netherlands on Thursday.

Rafael Leao is also returning to Milan, but not because of an injury. The 24-year-old scored in a 5-2 win over Sweden on Thursday and has been allowed to return to his club earlier, so he will soon resume training with the Rossoneri ahead of the next Serie A match with Fiorentina.
