Inter Milan’s president Giuseppe Marotta expressed surprise at recent allegations of referee bias. This comes just ahead of their crucial match against Torino.
As Inter aims for the Scudetto and a potential Double this season, the pressure mounts. They currently sit 12 points clear at the top of Serie A.
Torino, meanwhile, is mid-table and unbeaten in their last three matches. They will look to capitalize on any distractions facing Inter.
Injuries plague both teams. Lautaro Martinez and Luis Henrique from Inter did not travel for the match due to injuries. Torino’s Tino Anjorin is also ruled out with a bruised hip.
The match kicks off at 17:00 UK time (18:00 CEST). Fans can watch it live on BBC Alba, BBC Sport website, DAZN in the UK and Ireland, and Paramount+ in the USA.
Marotta stated, “We don’t have referees we like and ones we don’t.” He emphasized the focus should remain on the championship and winning in front of their fans.
Still, uncertainty looms over the ongoing referee scandal investigation. Officials have not clarified how these allegations might affect future games.
Inter’s Yann Sommer returns to goal after two games with second-choice keeper Josep Martinez. This change could be pivotal as they face a determined Torino squad.
