Dovbyk out of Roma vs. Milan to create problems for Ranieri
Artem Dovbyk is out of the Roma squad to face Milan on Sunday evening with a muscular problem, so Claudio Ranieri is forced to reshuffle.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT, 20.45 CET).

The Giallorossi slipped behind Juventus and Lazio in the race for a top four finish and consequent Champions League qualification, so this result could be very important indeed.
However, after Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini were ruled out for the rest of the season, coach Ranieri has also now lost Dovbyk.

The centre-forward suffered a muscular issue in training and is not even in the squad list for tomorrow's game.
It is hoped the Ukraine international can be back in action for the final match of the season against Torino.

Meanwhile, the most likely alternative will be starting Eldor Shomurodov as the centre-forward rather than the support striker, with Matias Soulé in a more advanced role.

We could see Alexis Saelemaekers wide right against his parent club, with Niccolò Pisilli in midfield, or bringing Tommaso Baldanzi in as a trequartista for the 3-4-1-2 formation.
Milan have their own problems too, as Kyle Walker, Samuel Chukwueze and Warren Bondo are out, with Theo Hernandez a huge doubt to feature with a bruised thigh.
Roma probable line-up
(3-5-2): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, N'Dicka; Saelemaekers, Cristante, Koné, Angelino, Baldanzi; Soulé, Shomurodov

Inter Milan Reach Full Agreement With Cristian Chivu – Now Must Finalize Details Of Coach's Exit With Parma
Inter Milan Reach Full Agreement With Cristian Chivu – Now Must Finalize Details Of Coach's Exit With Parma Inter Milan have agreed a contract with Cristian Chivu and are now finalizing the details of his exit from Parma. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Romanian accepted the Nerazzurri's offer of a two-year deal in a meeting this afternoon. Advertisement Inter Milan have decided upon Cristian Chivu to be their new coach. The 44-year-old will replace Simone Inzaghi, who has left to join Al-Hilal. Inter had been working on snapping up Cesc Fabregas to become Inzaghi's successor. However, Como President Mirwan Suwarson strongly rebuffed the Nerazzurri's interest, and stated that the Lariani would refuse to release the Spaniard. Meanwhile, Genoa coach Patrick Vieira was another name reportedly on Inter's shortlist. Inter Milan Agree Contract With Cristian Chivu – Finalizing Departure From Parma MONZA, ITALY – MARCH 15: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between Monza and Parma at U-Power Stadium on March 15, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) Yesterday, Inter decided upon Cristian Chivu. The Romanian was a player for six years with the Nerazurri, before coaching the team at several youth levels. Advertisement Inter informed Chivu yesterday that they wanted to make him their new coach. Then, a meeting took place yesterday evening to work out the details of the 44-year-old's contract. That meeting did not quite result in a full agreement. Therefore, the parties held further talks today. However, these were successful, and so Chivu has agreed terms on a two-year deal to take over as Inter coach. This does not mean, though, that Inter have everything in place to bring Chivu in. The Nerazzurri still have some details to work out with the 44-year-old's current coach Parma. Therefore, they will work to finalize these in talks with the Emilian club today.
