Dumfries did not play in Holland's last two matches and Gimenez was not called up by Mexico. However, they will need more time to be ready for the game.
Thus, the Dutchman will be replaced by Carlos Augusto on the right flank of the Nerazzurri, while Rafael Leão's partner in the attack of the Rossoneri will be Christian Pulisic, back from injury, according to sportal.bg.
Other injured players in Inter's squad include defender Matteo Darmian and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Milan currently have no other players with physical problems. Sunday's match at “Giuseppe Meazza” will start at 21:45.
